"Scotty McLennan is a Unitarian Universalist minister, lawyer and educator, currently teaching ethics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He was the University Chaplain at Tufts for sixteen years and Dean for Religious Life at Stanford for fourteen years. He is the author of 'Finding Your Religion' and co-author of 'Church on Sunday, Work on Monday'. Source: The book's back cover. Harvey Cox, author of 'The Future of Faith' and 'How to Read the Bible', wrote in the foreword, "Anyone interested in the swiftly moving changes within and among religions today, and in the way they shape and are shaped by social and political events, needs to read this book. McLennan has been around the block more than once and he knows whereof he speaks."… (altro)
A good, balanced book. Mostly nothing I haven’t read before, but if you haven’t read anything like this before it would be a great introduction to different ways to view religion. I liked it, and learned something.

But it's just too full of anecdotes, his own and other peoples'. It gets too bogged down in these stories, which disrupts the flow of the reading.
The Appendix of other books to read and organizations to contact is worth a look, though.
