In this, his third book, Barkley Thompson tackles seminal issues that many Christians have traditionally been afraid to question. An Episcopal priest and popular author and blogger, Thompson approaches these topics from the standpoint of a person of faith. Thompson says in the preface, "For those for whom questions of belief, salvation, and eternal life have seemed too difficult to explore; for those who have been abused by the answers of a punitive and otherworldly Christianity; and for those just now beginning to seek a deeper meaning to life, I pray this little book is a helpmate." Each chapter is followed by provocative reflection questions useful for either personal devotion or small group discussion.
