Journalist

Cathleen Falsani is a veteran religion journalist and author of nonfiction books including "The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People," "Sin Boldly: A Field Guide for Grace," and "Disquiet Time: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful and a Few Scoundrels." She lives in Southern California.
