Full Description
Navigate the deepest questions of faith with the compassionate guidance of a pastor whose faith nearly fell apart
This book is a must have for anyone facing a crisis of faith. When our hearts begin to question faith, we often fear voicing our concerns and confusions aloud. But questioning is inherent in the journey as we seek truth faith, as author and pastor Kevin M. Young has learned firsthand. At a time when many lack trust in clergy—and clergy members themselves are facing burnout and disillusionment—we need an honest and accountable reckoning with the role of the church in our lives. Reconstruct Your Faith takes you back to square one, helping you reengage with the church, the clergy, and God, using methods that have been essential to Christianity from its beginnings.
Embark on the next phase of your spiritual journey—even if you have become disillusioned with aspects of organized religion
Receive guidance and wisdom from an open-minded pastor who has struggled with his own faith
Examine the role of God, Evangelicalism, and the church in your past, present, and future
Return to the foundations of faith to discover your own path through questioning to a stronger spirituality
This book guides you through the application of ancient spiritual practice in your life's journey, regardless of your denominational identity as a Christian or your belonging to a particular tradition. Anyone experiencing a crisis of faith or nagged by persistent questions about the direction of the church today will find healing and answers in Reconstruct Your Faith.
