Description: We can wander in the direction of conventional beliefs and practices; we can reject God and turn away from religion altogether; or we can embrace our uncertainty as an invitation to a more vital understanding of both God and religion. If you are spiritually restless for an authentic faith life but do not find conventional religious teachings pertinent to you, Stella reinterprets traditional religious teachings central to the Christian faith. He helps you find new ways to understand and relate to traditional, narrowly defined Christian truths in order to open your mind and heart to the full impact of Christian teachings.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-126).
