Diana is the author eleven books, although her husband insists she’s actually written one really long book in eleven volumes, each one building on what came before.

In her books she has traced developments in Christianity in the United States, and in her own life. She has written books for congregations and for those who have thought about leaving church behind. In the process she has helped many people understand what they are experiencing and discover new ways of exploring their spiritual lives.

Diana Butler Bass has established herself simultaneously as a leading authority on American religious history and one of our most incisive observers of the ways that the past continues to shape contemporary US culture and politics. Whether her focus is on history or gratitude or Jesus, her writing—at once rigorous and accessible, powerful and personal—has been a model of the highest goal of literary nonfiction: to tell the truth.
