I've recommended this to a couple of people here, but since it's such a tremendous resource, I figured I'd give it it's own thread...
"Finding Faith: A Self-Discovery Guide for Your Spiritual Quest"
Here are some of the chapter headings:
Introduction: The Predicament of an Intelligent Person Seeking Faith.
- Does It Really Matter What I Believe?
- What is the Relationship Between Faith and Knowledge?
- How Does Faith Grow?
- Can I Believe in Atheism?
- Which Forms of Agnosticism are Best?
- If There is One God, Why Are There So Many Religions?
- Do You Seriously Expect Me To Think of God as an Old Man with a Long White Beard?
- Don't All Paths Lead to the Same God?
- How Might God be Experienced?
- How Else Might God be Experienced?
- Can God be Experienced through Doubt?
- Why is the Church the Last Place I Think of for Help in My Spiritual Search?
- Why is the Bible the Next-to-Last Place I Think of for Help in My Spiritual Search?
- What if I lose Interest?This is NOT your typical book on faith... it makes you think, even if you don't agree with this guy (& he doesn't even WANT you to agree with him... he wants you to think for yourself).
It's written in a journalistic way, that allows you to take notes, comment, jot your journey along the way...
It encourages you to come to your own conclusions, so that whatever sort of faith you find, it'll be your OWN...
Shalom, Dena
