Fiction by Jodi Picoult
This is a book I read several years ago and it was really good. The odd thing about the story is that the titular Faith is a person, a little girl who talks to God. Or maybe she doesn't. Her mother, who takes her straight to a therapist at this sort of talk, doesn't think so. But Faith herself, who has been struggling since her parents' divorce, her conversations with God are quite real. And things happen that convince others that God may be working through the little girl. This attracts media coverage and gets the attention of an atheist debunker.
The author treats this topic dispassionately, but she really gets you inside the character's heads. Everyone in the story was really trying their best to do what they think is right. But my heart was with little Faith.
