The Guy with the Sign

"Terry Pluto's Faith and You columns remind me that no matter the struggle we face, we are never alone." -- Neil O.

From Terry Pluto ...

Faith writing is not a part of my job description. I do it because I believe God opened an amazing door in a major media outlet for stories such as the ones in this book. These are some of my favorite "Faith and You" columns from The Plain Dealer / Cleveland.com, stories many readers responded to.

This is not a religion column. I don't write about hot-button issues.

I write about everyday faith, like dealing with "family mess" such as troubled adult children or an addict in the family. Coping with cancer. Coping with strokes. Loneliness. The death of a loved one. Dealing with life in a nursing home. These are my topics, events that impact a lot more people than the culture war issues that dominate the news.

My column has more questions than answers sometimes, and often the answers come from someone other than me. Just like in real life.
