339. Ed Burcham, part 1

339. Part 1 of our interview with Ed Burcham about his life and his novel, Feathers of Faith. A young man, disillusioned by a caustic religious upbringing, strays into a self destructive lifestyle. He finds temporary peace in a religion that centers on new age mysticism and tribal ceremonies. He then finds that the spirits that now haunt him can only be driven away by the grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
