It is all too common for people with a sincere Christian faith to reach a point where the faith they had built their life on stops helping and becomes a real source of pain. Filled with person stories, helpful information and practices you can engage in this book is a gentle and compassionate guide for anyone who finds themselves in a mid-faith crisis.

This book spoke to me right where I am, in the height of a mid-faith crisis.
It affirmed my hurts, made me cry in the best ways, and gave me hope that things won't always be this way.
The only part of this book with which I patently disagree is the progressive Christianity inserted into the dialogue, and I do not accept this at all.
However, I am not throwing out the baby with the bath water. The rest of the book was very helpful and insightful, and I made lots of highlights.

Very honest and helpful guide to the many issues that might make faith challenging and disappointing.

(I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

A great resource for those that are dealing with a crisis of faith. The best part was that it included resources, both books and music, to help you delve deeper into each chapter. Highly recommend to those struggling with their faith, which we all will at some point.

I am on a journey to get closer to God and often times I feel like my faith is low and I am very doubtful. This book is very encouraging. I will continue to look back on this when I struggle.

This book has some wonderful encouragement and hope for Christians in a faith crisis. It’s so reassuring to see doubt and struggle treated as a normal part of the Christian walk - even after reaching adulthood and/or spiritual maturity - rather than a sign of weakness. It’s even more reassuring to hear that it can end in a closer relationship with God. I appreciated the authors’ vulnerability in sharing their stories.

There are a few claims in the book that struck me as not quite Biblical. Granted, one of my struggles is that my life experience doesn’t always match up with what the Bible says, though I wish it did (e.g., unanswered prayers for suffering family members and friends), but I’ve experienced enough of God to know that Christianity must be true and that I want to trust the Bible.

This book doesn’t provide easy answers, but it provides solidarity and hope. For that, I am very thankful. This book is going to stay with me a long time. I give it 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

Thank you to NetGalley and InterVarsity Press for the free eARC. I post this review with my honest opinions. This review is posted on Goodreads; it will also be posted on Amazon and Instagram within a week of the book’s publication date.

Powerful book. Loved it.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
