Synopsis
Addressing religious faith as a lifelong learning process, Yount discusses the aspects of Christianity that prompt the most questions and provides thoughtful and thought-provoking reasons to overcome a reluctance to taking on the more difficult aspect of believing in God. He covers everything from traditional church history to worship, prayer and Christianity today.

About the Author
David Yount is vice chairman of the Washington Theological Consortium in Washington, DC. A syndicated columnist, he has written eight books, including The Future of Christian Faith in America.
From Booklist
Yount has been involved in Christian education for much of his career and has taught continuing education to clergy of various denominations. He addresses his book to those who consider themselves Christians but . . . are unsure of their beliefs or are alienated from the faith of their childhood and seeks to provide a better understanding of what adult faith means. He covers the common ground of basic Christian belief, ethics, history, and practice; he also includes study questions, guides to Bible reading, and a collection of prayers from various sources. Yount writes clearly and engagingly, addressing the reader in a straightforward and unsentimental tone: The two great commandments are to love God and to love one's neighbor. All the rest is footnote. He faces difficult theological issues with an unflinching honesty that should appeal to the skeptic. Occasionally, he shows his Catholic perspective, but usually he succeeds in avoiding sectarian bias. His book fulfills its promise and should appeal to thoughtful readers. Carol Branscomb
