A Holy Haunting
By Sam D. Kim
What if faith is not a mere byproduct of cultural factors as many assume, but rather an echo resounding from eternity?
Atheists like Richard Dawkins often mock prayer, equating it to calling upon a fairy in the sky. For many in the broader culture today, this polemical assertion simply rings true. Many believe faith is a leap into the dark armed with nothing but a whim. At best, faith is a placebo; at worst, it is a delusion.
This misunderstanding pervades western society, criticizing those that practice traditional faith as “old fashioned” or “out of touch.” In A Holy Haunting, Dr. Sam D. Kim interacts with this perception of faith and challenges readers to look at faith another way.
