Reviews
of Following Our Bliss
"It
takes an uncommonly discerning and sensitive journalist do document
the spiritual character and legacy of an era, and Don Lattin manages
to do so with the masterful aplomb in his instructive and highly readable
Following Our Bliss."
— Arkansas Democrat Gazette
"Much terrific reporting, captivating storytelling, and enjoyable
reading…a worthwhile thought-provoking work."
— Yoga Journal
"Lattin does not shy away from the sharp edges, the contradictions,
the margins of faith…He captures the double vision of religion,
always looking forward and backward at the same time."
— Washington Post
"Veterans of the 1960s will enjoy Don Lattin’s wide and witty
examination of the lingering spiritual impact of drugs, free love, and
an often half-crazy cast of gurus who paraded through the United States."
— Detroit Free Press
"A very readable and thoughtful book about the generation that
came of age during the sixties. While the intervening decades have comprised
an incredible journey, few have completely understood it. This book
should go a long way in helping to fill this gap."
— Orville Schell, dean of the Graduate School of Journalism,
U.C. Berkeley
Reviews of Shopping for Faith
"A savvy
appreciation of where we are now and where we are heading in the restless
search for spiritual truth…To their credit, the authors concern
themselves only with an inventory of the spiritual resources that are
available, and they make no value judgments about the choices we may make."
— Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
"Shopping
for Faith is as good as it gets in assessing the U.S. religion scene at
millennium’s end."
— Robert Elwood, emeritus professor of religion, University
of Southern California
"Vivid
personal stories…capture the transformation of the religious landscape.
Religious leaders and scholars would do well to ponder the many pressing
questions raised by Cimino and Lattin’s impressive book."
— Wade Clark Roof, Christian Century magazine
"A brisk
new book by journalists Richard Cimino and Don Lattin…Their chronicle
of religion and culture finds an abundance of shopping activity…Cimino
and Lattin reach beyond market themes to social issues, culture wars,
the search for community and varieties of spirituality…A helpful
update.
— Religion scholar Martin Marty
"Once
in a while, a book comes along that genuinely pins down religion in the
United States and persuades the reader the future doesn't’t look
so bad. Such a book is Shopping for Faith: American Religion in the New
Millennium."
— Clark Morphew, St. Paul Pioneer Press
