What Would I Believe if I Didn't Believe Anything

A Spiritual Compass for Doubters Who Hunger for a Meaningful Faith This is a guidebook for spiritual orphans that shows how they can "doubt their way home" by embracing their doubts and asking the hard questions as a meaningful path toward genuine faith. Kent Ira Groff helps readers value their own questions and learn to talk about spiritual matters in fresh, nonreligious language. Rather than handing down doctrines "from above," Groff invites readers to look at life "from below," exploring experiences of daily living. He helps the reader and the grace in the grit of everyday life, seeking analogies of faith in film and literature, psychology and science, poetry and arts, music and sports. "Filled with wisdom and practical guidance, rich insights and memorable quotations, it consistently connects to experience and comes complete with fifty rejection exercises." Marcus Borg, Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture, Oregon State University, and author, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time and Reading the Bible Again for the First Time "Kent Ira Groffs timely and fascinating book shows there is a way out of skepticism, in the various manifestations of grace in ordinary life.
