Brave Soul | Free Book
A Spiritual Memoir
Cherie Bell writes with humor and grace about her teenage years as a
Pentecostal Christian in the late 1970s.At first happy her chaotic
family life would be tamed by church membership, the spunky adolescent
with a mind of her own finds her parents' choice too strict. In time
she befriends the new church family and joins the faith at age 15
after profound experiences in water baptism and the Holy Ghost. As she
grows into an independent young woman in the 1980s, always curious
about world religious philosophies, she begins a personal exploration
of the soul and finds spirituality outside of religion.Each segment of
her memoir is set off by old-time gospel hymns and contemporary
Christian song titles as Ms. Bell writes as one who knows the
Pentecostal experience firsthand yet does not argue her views today.
Indeed she concludes everyone's relationship with God is a personal
endeavor.Her engaging story leaves readers thinking about religious
fundamentalism and its impact on the world today.A former
award-winning journalist and columnist, Ms. Bell is a singer,
songwriter, and music teacher in Dallas, where she lives with her
husband.
