This book is exactly what I needed. As a former-but-not-so-sure-anymore deconstructing Christian, this book asks ask the questions I've been answering. And rather than giving unsatisfying answers, which is something the modern church seems to be very good at, this book devotes itself to getting me comfortable with the idea of being uncomfortable. It literally redefines the word “faith” without cheapening it or offering any excuses or explanations for God usually doesn't make any sense. That's actually the point. God doesn't make sense, can't possibly make sense, and it's crazy for us to try to make Him make sense. 

I appreciated the honesty in this book, the willingness to meet me right where I am, and the motivation to keep moving even when I have no idea where I'm headed.
