I am so excited to read this book! I find people's journeys in their faith fascinating and coming out of a born again christian group is a big step. It also sounds like this book is broken down into sections in a very smooth way. Glad this is the book of the day!!!

A book about faith. I'd like to read this book to know more about the three stages of faith. Very interesting. Thanks for the review.

I'm not a big fan of organised religion in general and born-again Christianity in particular, so I think I'll give this one a miss. Thank you for a thoughtful review, though!

I am curious about Fred Howard's perspective on how faith is built from observing people and situations. I think Transforming Faith: Stories of Change from a Lifelong Spiritual Seeker will be an insightful read.

I agree with the author's argument that you shouldn't just accept what he calls "adopted faith" without questions. It sounds like this book is a good example of the unique spiritual journey we are all capable of experiencing. Thanks for the review.

Post by Frenjie »

Reading someone's journey to discovering deeper meaning of their lives' various aspects is always worth my time. Stories of such kind never failed to amaze me and most of the time, I end up being touched by others' experiences and inspired to emulate them. From your review, I've seen how strong you're able to connect with the story. I'm glad that you've enjoyed it and I'm sure I will too. Thank you for that interesting review.

I have sampled this book, it is the one that needs quite sometime to go through for one to benefit from it.

I have loved the intention to use illustrations and stories. It is quite a challenge to read a book with deadlines for review making one hurry up before fully understanding it.

Basing on your review it shows that you wanted to slowly read and digest the content without necessarily feeling that there is a responsibility awaiting somewhere.

Spiritual books aren't something that interests me, however, from your review it surprised me that this is more about questioning religion and its stock answers to delving more. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Great review

Life is of cause what you make out of it. Your review is very interesting and I definitely become a religious books reader and it indeed true, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
