Faith and You: Essays on Faith in Everyday Life
The focus is on the simple, everyday questions of faith that are often neglected during the church service, but that are important in the lives of the faithful . . . [Pluto’s] appeal in this book comes from the fact that he is one of us: an average guy who works a steady job, has a wife and tries to be good person. Faith is a touchy subject, but Pluto writes like a friend, making the book as accessible as it is powerful . . . for friends and family of any denomination. (Lauren BurkhartAkron Life Magazine20051205)[Pluto] takes what is preached on Sundays and moves it into the family room, where friends are gathered around talking and sipping coffee . . . Pluto succeeds in bringing faith into the every day act of living. And while he writes, Pluto admits he doesn’t know all the answers . . . This makes him incredibly human. Some chapters reaffirmed what I already knew about faith. Others explored a topic in new ways. My one complaint about the book was its length. It needs to be longer. (April HelmsMaple Heights Press20051215)Pluto’s take on things is down-to-earth, as befits his other persona as sportswriter, without being preachy or boring. (Laura KennellyMorning Journal20051218)
