Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church

4.30 out of 5 stars

Description

This book is for those who are struggling to reconcile their faith with the complexities of the world, and who desire to build a faith that is both intellectually honest and deeply personal. "I'm done." The latest social media declaration of departure from Christianity. The catalyst could be anything: sexual identity, racial injustice, political disillusionment, social activism, scientific discovery, or a toxic mix of all these. For many, the Christian faith has become unsustainable, even unthinkable. But what if the church, rather than being a hindrance, was the ideal place to confront and resolve these doubts? Before You Lose Your Faith presents a compelling case for staying and working through the tough questions within the church community. With contributions from a diverse range of voices, including Claude Atcho, Rachel Gilson, Jay Y. Kim, Brett McCracken, Karen Swallow Prior, Derek Rishmawy, and Jared C. Wilson, this book demonstrates that deconstruction can be a transformative process, leading to a more mature, resilient faith that honestly engages with life's most profound mysteries. For those torn between their faith and the complexities of the world, this book offers a roadmap for building a faith that is both intellectually authentic and deeply personal.
