In this bestseller and finalist in the Spiritual category of the 1998 Books for a Better Life Awards, Nora Gallagher writes her experience with faith. What started as an occasional Sunday, a “tourist’s” visit to a local church soon became a year-long journey to discover her faith and a relationship with God. Whether writing about her brother’s battle against cancer, talking to homeless men about the World Series, or questioning the afterlife (“One world at a time”), Gallagher draws readers into a world of journeys and mysteries, yet grounded in reality. Things Seen and Unseen is a demonstration that “the road to the sacred is paved with the ordinary.”
