{"product_id":"strangers-gift-357830","title":"Strangers Gift","description":"**From a Pulitzer Prize-winning author: thirteen beautiful stories that gently guide readers into the hallways of faith-openly asking questions, exploring scenarios, and finally coming to the beginnings of faith.** Tom Hallman's unexpected journey toward faith began with a routine assignment to write a feature piece for*The Oregonian*newspaper. He begrudgingly found himself in an African American church on a Sunday morning-out of place, uncomfortable, and ready to leave from the moment he got there. But he accidentally found something he wasn't looking for: he saw faith and prayer in action. And that seeing stirred a curious hunger in him that he'd never known before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      Compelled by this initial experience, Hallman began to seek out men and women across the country who*believed.*And these people-whom he calls his \"faith teachers\"-became characters in thirteen stories of exploration. In*A Stranger's Gift*, readers meet ordinary people and will be drawn into conversations that ask probing, almost intrusive questions-from the ache of a mother who watched her baby die to the peaceful strength of a man working with those whose present situations mirror his past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      Ultimately,*A Stranger's Gift*brings you along on Hallman's journey to faith and grace and may even help carry you through your own doubts and discoveries.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51568344826143,"sku":"9781451668612","price":46.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781451668612_1376908.jpg?v=1769302580","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/strangers-gift-357830","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
