Synopsis
A Compelling Exploration of the Emerging Secular Spirituality
What is faith? It is not something we must receive from a religion, nor is it a quality we must abandon in order to be rational. "Faith is not the same as belief," writes bestselling author Roger Housden. "A nonreligious faith allows us to live with uncertainty, change, and mortality―to embrace life in all its sublime beauty." For the many who self-identify as "spiritual but not religious," Housden’s book Keeping the Faith Without a Religion offers us a way to embrace the extraordinary mystery of our lives without resorting to blind dogmatism or nihilistic scientism. He invites us to investigate:
Faith and belief―how our hunger for certainty and easy answers impedes the growth of a mature spirituality
· Guidance for building a personal faith based on your own inner experience
· How faith in life’s uncertainty can lift us through hard times―even when we know there are no guarantees
· Love, joy, and beauty―what these experiences can teach us about the intelligence of the universe
Today, many of us seek a new approach to spirituality that honors both the rational and the mystical in equal measure. With Keeping the Faith Without a Religion, Roger Housden offers a guidebook for free-thinking seekers―an inspiring call to step beyond the need for one absolute truth and trust ourselves to the unfolding of our singular, extraordinary life.

Review
“A Best Spiritual Book of the Year” ―Spirituality & Practice
“Housden (Ten Poems to Change Your Life) offers a nuanced and well-rounded guide to having a faith while remaining detached from specific religious traditions.A nondenominational approach to life makes it easier to accept the impermanence of all situations, and to let go of the idea of 'practicing' faith, instead simply experiencing it. Housden is a gentle and a moving guide, asking readers to not only bow down and accept the joy and darkness of their nature, but also to trust inner promptings and to be faithful to humanity.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Roger Housden has done the seemingly impossible: he has written a bible for the "spiritual but not religious". Housden's first six chapters offer a road map to how to trust the knowing, the mystery, the darkness, the joy, the changes, and the imperfection of life. The final four explore the power of letting go, finding beauty, cultivating kindness, and keeping faith with the human spirit.” ―Spirituality and Health
“With passion, clarity, and wisdom, Roger Housden offers ways to develop a personal spirituality disentangled from religiosity. A powerfully moving book.” ―Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
“The genius Wittgenstein, about a century ago mused, 'I can imagine a religion with no doctrines, so that nothing is spoken.' Roger Housden imagines the end of -isms. A great relief for the whole community. I love all of Roger's healing, enlivening, and heart-opening work.” ―Coleman Barks, author of Rumi: The Big Red Book
“Beautiful and wise. Keeping the Faith Without a Religion nourishes the heart and brings light to the spirit." -Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness "Roger Housden has made a wonderful contribution to spiritual literature for years. And I bet if our senses were more refined, we could hear heaven, and Buddha too, wildly applauding Keeping the Faith Without a Religion. Indeed. Keep rocking, RH. Keep rockin!” ―Daniel Ladinsky, bestselling Penguin author of Poetry --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
