Faith Beyond Belief gives a much-needed voice to the “good” people who have left their church but whose spirituality continues to mature. Johnston uses first-person stories as well as known spiritual authorities in describing various stages of religious growth. Some of these real-life accounts are by nonbelievers; others are by those among the growing numbers of the “spiritual but not religious.” All are thoughtful people with too much integrity to live what they consider a lie. The stories of the nonbelievers-including an ex-Catholic, a former Mormon, and a clandestine Muslim apostate who left his community after the attacks of 9/11-show how complete confidence in human reason can lead away from literal religious interpretation. But, while that step is a necessary one on the spiritual path, it is only intermediate. Her second set of stories are of people at the “mystic” level who can tolerate paradox and see truth and reality as multidimensional. Johnston’s book will help doubters to see things in a new light as well as those who are struggling to clarify their own spiritual vision. It also points beyond the atheist/believer controversy wrecking such divisive havoc in our culture today.

A personal, surprising, and heart-warming book wherein two spiritual masters of our time advance the central questions of life and faith. "Brother David Steindl-Rast and Father Anselm Grün are figures of hope, people who by the power of their example can offer an orientation in a world that has become too complex to comprehend. The spirituality they radiate is an everyday thing that is nevertheless both profound and vivid. . . . "Our conversations, on which this book is based, could be read as a 'crash course' in Christian spirituality. This book will be an inspiration and an aid to spiritual life for many people of our time, whether they are believers or not." Johannes Kaup From the Introduction

"Faith goes beyond your initial statement of belief and brings you the ability to feel the change and to enjoy a life of obedience to God." Whether you are a relatively new Christian or gave your life to Jesus decades ago, you can build on your present level of faith to create a richer inner life and an outer life that becomes more and more Christlike. Instead of a book of religious theory, "Faith Beyond Belief" is an accessible and implementable guide to giving your faith and your life greater depth and breadth. In this book, Randy Cook uses both his long professional pastoral career and his personal experiences to detail how you can: *Use your imagination to bring the Bible to life and visualize yourself living inside these verses *Understand how your feelings are related to your faith *Accept and truly believe that you are significant, special and secure *Learn strategies to persevere and not give up before "the finish line" Scripturally accurate, the book follows a natural progression of faith development and incorporates thoughtful and heartfelt prayers by Randy's wife and spiritual partner, Anita Cook. If you sincerely adopt the steps in this book, you can be assured you will be on a firmer foundation of faith in the days, weeks and years to come.

If the church doesn't act now, we will lose a whole generation to postmodernism. Most young people believe that truth is relative to individual beliefs. McDowell insists that truth matters, and that truth changes who we are and how we act. McDowell introduces "relational apologetics, " proving that objective truth is founded on a relationship with Jesus Christ.

"A recurring theme is that of open secrets facts well known to historians and other academics in the Church, but kept from the faithful masses. These open secrets are not actively denied, just avoided so as not to cause offence to those who are familiar only with the Sunday-School version of events. Many Christians see their system of belief as dating from the earliest times, but this idea becomes difficult to sustain in the light of when and how key doctrines were established. Many ordinary Christians would be shocked to discover, for example, the prominent role played by violence and forgery in developing and promoting Christian doctrine."--Amazon website.

Todd Hunter presents a new paradigm for Christian discipleship that shows how salvation is not just a question of whether we are saved but also a call to progressively grow more like Christ. Hunter's biblical perspective might just change the way you look at life forever.
