Another Way: Finding Faith Then Finding It Again

Description: Like many young Christians Kevin Brown had what he believed to be a strong faith one that provided answers to all the questions he had and might encounter. He even attended a Christian college and considered becoming a youth minister. While there though he began having doubts about his faith began asking questions that came from discussions both in and out of the classroom--questions he couldnt find answers to. When the church told him he shouldnt be asking those questions he left the church and his faith behind. He kept asking questions though and kept looking for a faith that would allow him to have questions and doubts yet still believe. What he found may offer an answer to the religious divide in our society--one that separates evangelical from progressive Christians one that separates sacred from secular. In this memoir Brown describes his spiritual journey from his first faith to the loss of faith to the way he found back to a Christianity where he can ask those questions a different way than he knew before. He still has questions and doubts but he also has faith in spite of and because of those questions and doubts. Endorsements: What I like most about Another Way is the authors ability to see his past clearly express/confess where he stands today and explain that every spiritual journey is part of Gods mystery beyond our understanding. Kevin Brown gets it. --Jon M. Sweeney Author of Almost Catholic and The Pope Who Quit About the Contributor(s): Kevin Brown teaches at Lee University.
