What we don't know can hurt us (Excerpts from "Shaken Faith")

"Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and what we do not know is better than attempting to know and have all the answers. However...it is in our humanity, our being that is made in the image of God, to ask, question, challenge, and to know. Though there are things we cannot know and will not know...our curiosity and endeavor to learn and question are what allow us to innovate, develop electricity, build and fly airplanes and create...."[1]

Where do questions about God, life, and its complexities fit into a 21^st century faith model?

Shaken Faith: What you don't know (and need to know) about Faith Crises and how they Affect Spiritual Growth

I'm very excited to announce the publication of my book, Shaken Faith, through Wipf and Stock publishers.
This book is at least three years in the making, including the initial dissertation foundation, and the many months of interviews, research, and reshaping of this work.
My prayer is that this work becomes a resource to those in crisis, a place of rest to those whose faith is weary from struggle and wrestling, and a beacon of hope to those who have lost or fear losing their faith.
Faith is resilient, and through it God is at work, reshaping us to better see Him and His work in our lives and in the world.
