Church, The - A Short Story Collection

Faith is a wonderful thing. Whether its faith in each other or to a God, Gods, or whatever entity you believe in, it brings a familiar comfort and sustenance to heart, soul and mental well-being. Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling. Of course, short story authors have a determined belief in their undoubted talents to make us look at this subject from different angles. In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining. 1 - The Church - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 1 by Henry James 3 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 2 by Henry James 4 - A Fragment of Stained Glass by D H Lawrence 5 - Neccesity.
