Synopsis

At age twenty-one, Andrea Palpant Dilley stripped the Christian fish decal off her car bumper in a symbolic act of departure from her religious childhood. At twenty-three, she left the church and went searching for refugein the company of men who left her lonely and friends who pushed the boundaries of what she once held sacred.In this deeply personal memoir, Andrea navigates the doubts that plague believers and skeptics alike: Why does a good God allow suffering? Why is God so silent, distant, and uninvolved? And why does the church seem so dysfunctional?Yet amid her skepticism, she begins to ask new questions: Could doubting be a form of faith? Might our doubts be a longing for God that leads to a faith we can ultimately live with?

Fellow Searcher Searcher I have been on a similar search for God. Like Andrea, I grew up in the church, but unlike her, didn't ask questions until much later in life. I have continued with God, and Andreas insight that doubt is part of faith helped. If you're seeking God, read this funny, very well w......more

Goodreads review by Kendall on November 06, 2017

This is a book about doubting, perhaps losing, faith and her journey back. It’s not about doubting the existence of God but doubting the Christian belief in the goodness of God. From there, as the author puts it, “I was trying to find purpose in my work, a partner on my journey, and a worldview I co......more
