The Bible Tells Me So

For many people the bible tells a story of a god that is completely incomprehensible. This book finally looks at these issues head on, starting with the God-ordained mass genocide of the Canaanites. 
Every chapter surprised me, offered much needed clarity, and usually left me with more questions than answers. That also happens to be the point, that we should give up looking for answers, and instead be looking for questions. And I was surprised that this approach actually helped me relax and gently nudged me toward reconsidering my failing faith. 

That is another strength of this book: it is for everyone. It is EQUALLY applicable, and even necessary, for christians, atheists, evangelicals, agnostics, whoever. It takes everything we THINK we know and gently (and humorously) invites us to kindly throw it out and start over, while maybe standing on our heads and squinting, to get a new perspective.

I adored this book and intend to read more by this author, and also maybe actually pick up my Bible again as well.
