Faith Shift

I consider this book a guide of sorts. I really wish I had this book earlier. It would make my early years in the Christian faith less confusing and painful.

Really enjoyed hearing from this perspective. It is definitely a very particular perspective (despite the author's attempts to be very inclusive), but one which a lot of people that might be described as faith shifters relate to. While I don't share the postmodern worldview this book is written from, I do believe it represents a necessary challenge to the conservative and fundamentalist worldviews, exposing areas where we have distorted truth into an unhealthy cage that has hurt far too many people. This book was written as encouragement to those recovering from church–for me it was a challenge to put myself in their shoes and try to make the church a more hospitable space where people can truly be free to be authentic and express their passions, questions, and doubts.
