A spirited, spiritual pilgrimage to different Christian
churches for a year of Sundays—from storefronts to
mega-churches, from Massachusetts to Maui When Pope John Paul II died, Suzanne Strempek Shea, who had
turned away from the Catholic Church of her childhood,
recognized in his mourners a faith-filled passion that she
wanted to recapture. She set out on a yearlong to visit a
different church every Sunday for a year—a journey that
would take her through the broad spectrum of contemporary
Christianity lived in this country, from her New England
home to the West Coast, the Deep South, the Midwest, and
even to Hawaii. Beginning with a rousing Baptist Easter service in Harlem,
including a sing-along at the Cowboy Church in Colorado's
Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and a multimedia experience at Joel
Osteen's Lakewood Church, the largest church in the country,
Shea approaches each congregation with the curiosity of a
newcomer and with respect for each unique expression of
faith. Sundays in America weaves the threads of Christianity
in America into a vibrant tapestry, an essential guide for
those seeking a new house for their worship, as well as a
colorful road trip for the armchair explorer.
