Summary of Brian D. McLaren's Faith After Doubt

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are recovery programs for people who have lost a parent, sibling, or spouse. But no one has ever taught me how to grieve the loss of my faith. I was on my own. #2 I have received hundreds of emails from people who were fired or disfellowshipped from their church, including the author Michael Walker. I met with him to discuss his experience. #3 The small congregation that he was leading began growing numerically. But Michael began having doubts about the Bible, and he couldn’t suppress them. He began reading books that his tribe didn’t approve of, and he began secretly questioning his beliefs. #4 Your path into doubt may be different from Michael’s and mine. You may be Catholic, and it was the pedophilia scandals that rocked you, or the male hierarchy’s obsession with controlling women’s bodies, or the sense that the church was more interested in taking offerings than offering help to those in need.
