"At a time when the mere mention of religion can excite so much
passion . . . and discord, Losing Moses on the Freeway offers sane
and bracing ways to think about, and rethink, the whole subject of
faith." -- O, The Oprah Magazine
"Hedges' main point is that America is a nation marked by
self-satisfaction, false piety, hypocrisy, and covetousness and
that its institutions and culture aid and abet these very real
failings. . . . If you're fed up with the sorry state of things in
America today and aren't sure why, Hedges lays it out for you
here." -- Baltimore Sun
"Unfailingly well-written, compelling, and disturbing. . . . It's
not an easy faith that Hedges describes, and that is the point." --
The American Prospect
