Nine people of varied backgrounds tell how they slowly matured into the values, customs, dogmas, and traditions of the Orthodox Church in a society that looks upon religious faith with feelings that range from mild contempt to benign amusement. The contributors come from many traditions including Judaism, Reformed and Evangelical Christianity, Episcopalianism, Roman Catholicism, etc. These are not dry testimonies; readers will find the contributors" stories very engaging in their descriptions of the mysterious and manifold ways in which the Holy Spirit - the Hound of Heaven - operates in the lives of people. Contributors include Bishop Kallistos Ware, among others.
