BONNIE KRISTIAN shows that a vibrant diversity within Christian orthodoxy-which is simply to say a range of different ways to faithfully follow Jesus-is a strength of our faith, not a weakness. It is all too easy to fail to grasp the diversity of the Christian faith-especially for those who have grown up in one branch of the church and never explored another. We fail to realize how many ways there are to follow Jesus, convinced that our own tradition is the one Christian alternative to nonbelief. A FLEXIBLE FAITH is written for the convinced and confused believer alike. It is a readable exploration of the lively theological diversity that stretches back through church history and across the spectrum of Christianity today. It is an easy introduction to how Christians have historically answered key questions about what it means to follow Jesus. Chapters will include 17 big theological questions and answers; profiles of relevant figures in church history; discussion questions; single-page Q&As-profiles of more unusual types of Christians (e.g., a Catholic nun or a member of an Amish community); and a guide to major Christian denominations today. As Bonnie shares her wrestlings with core issues-such as who Jesus is, what place the Church has in our lives, how to disagree yet remain within a community, and how to love the Bible for what it actually is-she teaches us how to walk courageously through our own tough questions. Following Jesus is big and it is something that individual believers, movements, and denominations have expressed in uncountably different ways over the centuries. In the process of helping us sort things out, Bonnie shows us how to be comfortable with diversity in the Body. And as we learn to hold questions in one hand and answers in the other, we will discover new depths of faith that will remain secure even through the storms of life.

Which media outlets will help me be a responsible news consumer? How do I know what is true and whom I can trust? What can I do to combat all the misinformation and how it's impacting people I love? Many Americans are agonizing over questions such as these, feeling unsure and overwhelmed in today's chaotic information environment. American life and politics are suffering from a raging knowledge crisis, and the church is no exception. In Untrustworthy, Bonnie Kristian unpacks this crisis and explores ways to combat it in our own lives, families, and church communities. Drawing from her extensive experience in journalism and her training as a theologian, Kristian explores social media, political and digital culture, online paranoia, and the press itself. She explains factors that contribute to our confusion and helps Christians pay attention to how we consume content and think about truth. Finally, she provides specific ways to take action, empowering readers to avoid succumbing to or fueling the knowledge crisis.

Familiarity is a commonplace in the church today, this book is very helpful in understanding how detrimental it can be to spiritual growth, individually, and even corporately. I am blessed beyond words by every chapter and content of this book. It is a must read for any Christian worker or leader who really value growth, continuity, and relevance in the kingdom of God. Pastor Denis Odhiambo Okang, MA, LPCC Senior Pastor, LifeSpring International Church, Pennsylvania Familiarity is a distraction that robes us from experiencing the fullness in God and in life. When we become familiar with the things and the ways of God, we miss out on the more He would want to do in, with and for us. The main objectives for this book are to help you identify the subtle distraction of familiarity that can hinder your spiritual and natural growth; and to help you attain fullness and maximization of your potential in God and in life. Flexibility, humility, adaptability and obedience are key ingredients for spiritual and personal development. God does more when we are flexible.

What do you think when you hear the word “faith”? Do you think of deep spiritual connections, or irrational will-to-believe? What even is faith, how does it work, and what is it founded on? This book might help you answer some of these questions, as it explores the interplay between faith and beliefs, the foundations of religious beliefs, and how someone might go from having no faith to having a faith. If you are interested in faith and spirituality—and let’s face it, you are interested enough to read the back cover of this book—but don’t know what that might mean, then this book might be for you. I hope it will help you discover what faith means and how you might explore whether it is for you. If you have a faith but are struggling with doubts or uncertainties—if you are feeling untethered and in need of a foundation—then this book might be for you. I hope it will help you find the next chapter of your faith, a faith that is open to questions and flexible to challenges.

If you show God your faith, He will show you His power! Faith comes from hearing the Good News about Jesus Christ. Faith is our shield. It’s our deliverance. It’s our healing and our righteousness. Faith activates our promises, and it’s impossible to please God without it. So let’s build it! Graphene is the name for a honeycomb sheet of carbon atoms that is said to be the strongest and most promising material on earth. It is nearly transparent, yet flexible enough to cover a football field. Graphene is more conductive than copper, and when narrow holes are inserted, rushing water can flow through, purifying it of all other contaminants. So what if our faith could be described using these same characteristics? What kind of faith covers, is transparent, flexible, conductive, promising, and strong as steel? Graphene faith! Life can be overwhelming most of the time, but that doesn’t have to be the end of your story. This book will empower you to set unrealistic expectations to the side and learn simple and practical ways to love, serve, live, and lead in faith—Graphene Faith.

Throughout this book, Louis Roy illustrates his conviction that Christianity consists in the most profound experience to which human beings are invited by God. This experience involves meaning and truth, hope and love, suffering and joy, solidarity and critique. It is a space of freedom, where diverse persons seek the light and make their decisions, interacting with the intellectual and affective resources of their culture. Faith is understood as a personal and communal adventure—a sequence of real life experiences. The book proposes an articulate and coherent vision of the Christian faith. It surveys the complementary dimensions of Christian experience. It points to various paths, traveled by different people. It offers an actualization for our time, that is, a road map that is at the same time flexible and in keeping with truth. It engages in a dialogue with psychology and with non-Christian views, for example on meditation and on reincarnation. The book is addressed to a large audience of educated readers, who are likely to be very interested in its biblical, philosophical, psychological, sociological, interreligious, and pastoral components. Its originality consists in bringing together the interactions between several disciplines, in a practical way.
