HEADLINE: The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People

BYLINE: Graham Christian

BODY: Falsani, Cathleen. The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People. Farrar . 2006. c.304p. ISBN 0-374-16831-2 . $24. REL

In this charming book, Falsani, columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, interviews more than 25 people of note-politicians, celebrities, writers, and musicians-about their spirituality in an effort to lift the reader’s spirit while satisfying a certain guilty delight in gossip; indeed, some hitherto-unrevealed divine secrets of the famous and infamous are as tasty as their first marriages and real names. Who could have predicted that Hugh Hefner would describe himself as “a moral guy”? Or that, according to popular novelist Tom Robbins, we live in hell “because we take ourselves too seriously”? By turns surprising, dismaying, and entertaining, this work is recommended for most collections.

P.S. For those of you looking for my weekly Sun-Times column, I’m out sick. Came back from the tropics with a great tan and, apparently, an angry viral infection. Flat on my back in bed, with no voice, lots of Ricola elderberry cough drops, and Cheratussin with Codeine. Yippee.

Back next week!
