While it might be tempting to leave the church in order to find answers, Before You Lose Your Faith argues that church should be the best place to deal with doubts.

Primii mincinosi ai lumii sunt povestitorii. Dar cele aproape patru sute de istorioare adunate in acest volum de Jean-Claude Carriere nu sunt nici mituri, nici parabole religioase si cu atat mai putin epopei. Vii, alerte, uneori deconcertante sau fals naive, ele recompun spiritul umanitatii in cele mai diverse ipostaze ale sale, venind fie din spatiul buddhist sau islamic, fie din cel chinez, african, evreiesc, indian sau amerindian. Dincolo de diferentele care apar de la o traditie la alta, regasesti pretutindeni problema dreptatii si a mortii, dificultatea traiului in comun si tema raportului maestru-discipol.

The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives.
