Heart of Religion [EPUB ebook] 
Spiritual Empowerment, Benevolence, and the Experience of God’s Love

Drawing on an extensive survey of 1, 200 Christian men and women across the United States, as well as 120 in-depth interviews, Matthew T. Lee, Margaret M. Poloma, and Stephen G. Post offer a deeper and more nuanced study of religion and benevolence, finding that it is the experience of God as loving that activates religious networks and moves people to do good for others.
