Barbara Falconer Newhall

Barbara Falconer Newhall’s book, Wrestling with God: Stories of Doubt and Faith, published 2015 by Patheos Press, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Nonfiction work-shoppers might recall Barbara’s struggle to transform 16 sprawling oral histories into engaging first-person narratives (a Buddhist, an atheist, a Witch, a progressive Muslim). They may also remember the challenge she faced in figuring out how to present her own — rocky — spiritual journey with detachment and humor.
