A book plz on how religion is affected in the face of death, danger, fear, etc?

I'm doing a paper about religion in the face of death, with reference to the Holocaust and how the Jewish people reacted religiously. In general how do people act religiously when they are faced with problems, fear, death, danger, etc.? Some cling to it. Some blame it for their problems and begin to question it. ANY BOOKS THAT COULD HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

The Diary of Anne Frank is about a young Jewish girl during WWII, and The Robe by Llyod Douglas is a good one about how the early Christians were put to death and how they faced it without fear.
