This book rewards those willing to venture past comfortable boundaries into unexplored terrain. –Rev. Dr. Marlene Kropf, Professor Emerita of Spiritual Formation and Worship, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana This book is the real stuff.

Honest, elegant, and smart–this book is essential reading for anyone grappling with life’s big questions, inside and outside what we call church. –Christine Hemp, author of WILD RIDE HOME: LOVE, LOSS, AND A LITTLE WHITE HORSE - A FAMILY MEMOIR and THAT FALL (poems) STUMBLING TOWARD GOD chronicles the journey of a thinking person’s inexplicable pull toward the mystery of Faith.
