Faith Stealer was the sixty-first story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Graham Duff and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard, Conrad Westmaas as C'rizz and Stephen Perring as The Kro'ka.
It was the first story of the second tetralogy of Eighth Doctor stories set in the Divergent Universe. This story is Duff's only contribution to Doctor Who fiction as a writer.
Publisher's summary
When the Doctor, Charley and C'rizz find their journey through the Interzone interrupted by a nightmarish vision, they are surprised to find the Kro'ka offering the perfect solution...
The Multihaven — a vast array of religions and faiths housed in one harmonious community — appears to offer the perfect sanctuary in which to convalesce. But under the guidance of the charismatic Laan Carder, one religion seems to be gathering disciples at an alarming rate...
With the Doctor and Charley catching glimpses of an old friend and C'rizz on the receiving end of some unorthodox religious practices, their belief, hope and faith are about to be tested to the limit.
It's time to see the light.

Notes
- This is the first story of the second season of the Divergent Universe arc.
- This story is unusual in that it does not feature the TARDIS. However, it does feature an illusory version of the TARDIS created by the Miraculite.
- This audio drama was recorded on 11 and 12 June 2004 at the Moat Studios.
- An illustrated preview for this story appeared in DWM 348 illustrated by Martin Geraghty.
- This story was originally released on CD. It is now available as a download only.
Continuity
- The memory of killing L'da returns to haunt C'rizz. He killed her in the Kromon biosphere as she had been converted into a Kromon queen. The Doctor has come to believe that C'rizz did the right thing. (AUDIO: The Creed of the Kromon)
- The Doctor tells the Bordinan that he has met many beings who claimed to be or were worshiped as gods, giving him a tendency to be a "shade blasé" about supposed deities. (TV: The Dæmons, The Time Monster, Pyramids of Mars, The Face of Evil, The Stones of Blood, Ghost Light)
- The Doctor uses Venusian aikido on C'rizz and admits that he is out of practice as he injures his hand in the process. (TV: Inferno) He first learned it on a trip to Venus during his second incarnation in the company of Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus)
- Charley mentions that this is the second time in as many weeks that C'rizz has tried to strangle her. He previously did so while under the influence of the Cave creature on Setarus. (AUDIO: The Twilight Kingdom)
- The phantom TARDIS assumes the form of a sedan chair (TV: An Unearthly Child) and a pipe organ (TV: Attack of the Cybermen).
- C'rizz once again shows unfamilarity with the concept of time. (AUDIO: The Creed of the Kromon)
- The Doctor sees the phantom TARDIS "shatter into a million shards", a fate which would later befall the real TARDIS when it was seemingly destroyed by the Daleks on Skaro, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) only to be reassembled as a result of the Hostile Action Displacement System utilised by the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)
