Writing books does not make a trend. One can write a book about anything that any idiot will pay money for - just look at any Barnes and Noble.

The difference is one of commitment to Faith. It is there that you rarely (being aware of the real numbers we are talking about) find people jumping from say Protestantism to Orthodox Christianity - not that there aren't good cases for people to do so in seeking God.

However making this kind of thing a "trend" I think trivalises Christinaity in general. As Sara Groves sings "...people trying on truth as if it were a new suit, will it fit around the shoulders, will it fade when I get older?"

The God of the Christian Bible is much greater, far more awesome and supremely "other" than the little boxes man strives so hard to fit Him into.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much. The issues you have are your own. The book I linked you to seems to address your question. There are others books on the subject I assume so you would do well to read them to see their validity. I am not an authority on the matter.
