In God's Country : Travels in the Bible Belt , U. - S.A. - Poche

Though much has been written about the political implications of the religious revival which has engulfed America in recent years, a question remains unanswered: what pushes its people into declaring for Jesus? Douglas Kennedy spent a long hot summer cruising through that expanse of the American South known as The Bible Belt exploring that question. In a remarkable journey into one of the strangest corners of the United States, Kennedy finds himself spending time in Miami with a one-time member of the Mafia turned charismatic preacher, discovering Christian heavy-metal music m Nashville, and visiting Death Row in South Carolina with an evangelist who ministers to the condemned.
Repeatedly discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary, In God's Country is a profound, yet brilliantly entertaining exploration of life in late-twentieth-century America.
