This is a refreshing, surprising change from the many Atheistic essays and publications of today.Instead of the angry author who condemns Christianity and those who believe it as foolish, this is the story of a man who misses Christianity.He wants what the church can offer; meaning, answers, a strong foundation. The problem is that he simply can't belive it, no matter how much he tries.His criticisms ring true. While still a believer, he longed to find a group that was passionate about Christ and the church.Many of his problems with Christianity stem from modern-day followers and practices as they have warped and changed from how he believes Christians are depicted in the bible.In his heart, he wants nothing more than to become a Christian once more. Unfortunately, ss he says in the book, "I cannot believe that which I do not think is true."Surprisingly pleasant book with many interesting points. A fantastic read - would recommend if you liked either The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne or Crazy Love by Francis Chan.
