9780999284377: Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church

Synopsis

"I'm deconstructing."

Yet another social-media post announces departure from the Christian faith. The cause could be sex, race, politics, social justice, science, hellor all of the above. For many, Christianity is becoming implausible, even impossible to believe.

While it might be tempting to leave the church in order to find answers, Before You Lose Your Faith argues that church should be the best place to deal with doubts. Featuring contributors such as Claude Atcho, Rachel Gilson, Jay Y. Kim, Brett McCracken, Karen Swallow Prior, Derek Rishmawy, and Jared C. Wilson, this book shows deconstructing need not end in unbelief. In fact, deconstructing can be the road toward reconstructingbuilding up a more mature, robust faith that grapples honestly with the deepest questions of life.
