The Divine Supermarket, Travels in Search of the Soul of America

Travelling in a battered camping van, Malise Ruthven set out across America in search of the manifestations – often bizarre and sometimes terrifying – of its religious spirit. The journey took him from the dark woods of Puritan New England to neo-Nazi cults in the Rockies; from Mormons and Snake-handlers to fundamentalist groups who challenge the teaching of evolution; from Channellers in California to the sexual and financial scandals surrounding millionaire TV preachers. The Divine Supermarket is his zesty and brilliantly-observed account of the journey, offering illuminating and humorous insights into the quirky soul of modern America.
