3 Great Reasons to Buy from Us:
The Bible Is a Permission Slip to Ask QuestionsGod created us to be curious. We innately wonder about the world, one another, ourselves, and our Creator. But fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, technology, or even church leaders can smother our curiosity.Lore Ferguson Wilbert believes the Bible is a permission slip for anyone to ask questions. It is full of questions from God, to God, and among humans. She invites us to embrace curiosity, rather than certainty, as a hallmark of authentic faith."Stepping into the beleaguered shoes of the prophets, the psalmists, and the perplexed disciples, Wilbert invites readers into the human experience of faith. Her words are a salve to those of us who wonder, who wait, who impatiently watch for the One who is."--Jen Pollock Michel, author of A Habit Called Faith and Surprised by Paradox"A beautiful culmination of Lore's ministry. This book offers a winsome theology of curiosity, of questioning, and of faith that the answers will come."--Jasmine L. Holmes, author of Carved in Ebony: Lessons from the Black Women Who Shape Us"Wilbert's words invite us to spread our arms out wide beneath the canopy of curiosity, to take a walk along the curved pattern of the question mark, and to breathe in deep the mystery of God."--Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Next Right Thing"As Lore shows both through her life and in these pages, a strong faith doesn't just allow questions; it demands them. This invitation to ask good questions will encourage and strengthen you--and your faith."--Karen Swallow Prior, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books"Lore is innately curious, unafraid of hard questions. . . . Her curiosity seems to lead to the same conclusion: even in our uncertainty, or doubt, or confusion, there is a God who welcomes us into his love--questions and all."--Seth Haines,author of Coming Clean and The Book of Waking Up (from the foreword)God created us curious. We innately wonder about the world, one another, ourselves, and God. But technology, fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, or even church leaders can smother our curiosity.Popular writer Lore Ferguson Wilbert has belonged to Christian communities that discouraged curiosity. The point of the Christian life was to have the right answers, and asking questions reflected a wavering faith. But Wilbert came to discover that the Bible is a permission slip to anyone who wants to ask questions.Reflecting her own theological trajectory toward a more contemplative, expansive faith, Wilbert invites readers to foster curiosity as a spiritual habit. This book explores questions God asks us, questions we ask God, and questions we ask each other. Christianity is not about knowing good answers, says Wilbert, but about asking good questions--ones that foster deeper intimacy with God and others.A Curious Faith invites readers to go beyond pat answers and embrace curiosity, rather than certainty, as a hallmark of authentic faith.
