This is a volume written for persons who live in the mental world of modernity--that is, in a world that cherishes (1) freedom as the core of being human; (2) critical-thinking reason as the arbiter of what to affirm or not; (3) history, process, and dynamism at the heart of human life and society; and (4) dialogue with those who think differently yet who sense that there is somehow more to life, to reality, than meets the eye: that there is a depth or spiritual dimension not captured in our everyday experiences, which is customarily called religion. Religion for Reluctant Believers explores the meaning of life: its joys, problems, and terrors, its pluses and minuses. In short, it asks the question, do you want to buy into Religion with a capital r, into a particular religion, or into no religion at all?

Imagine the God of the universe whispering in your ear, “What shall we create out of your life that will serve My purpose?” The path of authenticity is not a solo endeavor but a calling to a partnership with God that requires utter honesty, trust, commitment, and wisdom. God guides your path with a two-fold promise, “You know I love you as you are, but together, we can make of your life what I created you to be.” Following the petitions of our Lord’s Prayer, Dr. Richard Parrott examines a family of authentic partners, the family of Abraham and Sarah, their son Isaac, grandson Jacob, and great-grandson Joseph. This fresh telling of the story reveals practical answers to the question, “How can my partnership with God be genuine, mature, and significant?” The Reluctant Journey is an honest and practical guide for relating to God. As authentic Christians, we can live true in Christ and our love for him each day, choosing His best for us so that together, we advance His kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.” Features include: Truths from the Lord’s Prayer Stories of the founders of our faith Thought-provoking questions for spiritual conversation or reflection

A Reluctant Agnostic is a story about sincere, humble, joyous Christianity confronted by contradictory natural evidence—a tale of religious conviction at odds with science. The author grew up in the very unique Old German Baptist Brethren Church, where he was immersed in wholehearted fundamental faith, and he shares details of the Brethren experience with an insider’s affection. Yet for all their distinctiveness, these plain-living people nevertheless embrace the

SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER From one of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy, The Art of Travel and The School of Life 'A serious and optimistic set of practical ideas that could improve and alter the way we live' Jeanette Winterson, The Times 'A beautiful, inspiring book... offering a glimpse of a more enlightened path' Sunday Telegraph 'Smart, stimulating, sensitive. A timely and perceptive appreciation of how much wisdom is embodied in religious traditions and how we godless moderns might learn from it' Financial Times 'There isn't a page in this book that doesn't contain a striking idea or a stimulating parallel' Mail on Sunday Alain de Botton takes us one step further than Dawkins or Hitchens ventured - into a world of ideas beyond the God debate... All of us, whether religious, agnostic or atheist, are searching for meaning. And in this wise and life-affirming book, non-believer Alain de Botton both rejects the supernatural claims of the major religions and points out just how many good ideas they sometimes have about how we should live. And he suggests that non-believers can learn and steal from them. Picking and choosing from the thousands of years of advice assembled by the world's great religions, Alain de Botton presents a range of fascinating ideas and practical insights on art, community, love, friendship, work, life and death. He shows how they can be of use to us all, irrespective of whether we do or don't believe.

The call of every Christian is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those around them, the Great Commission. Yet, having a reluctance to witness to others is a common trait among Christians everywhere for various reasons. In the new non-fiction book, THE RELUCTANT EVANGELIST: Embrace Your Gifts and Fulfill God's Purpose, author Dave Kachele addresses the inner struggles that prevent believers from sharing the Gospel with confidence and peace. The book is organized as a 50-Day Journey for individuals and/or groups with the purposes of deepening relationships with God, understanding how God made each of us, and helping Christians to use their own gifts and personalities to share the Gospel when God opens doors to do so. "Since coming to know the Lord in 1974, He has given me a heart to share the Gospel, make disciples, and teach others to do the same. Win and Grow Ministries, with THE RELUCTANT EVANGELIST: Embrace Your Gifts and Fulfill God's Purpose, is designed to inspire, encourage, and equip ALL Christians to share their faith confidently with their own God-given spiritual gifts, personalities, and passion." Dave Kachele is an ordained minister with the Association of Evangelical Gospel Assemblies (AEGA).

A discrete series of short essays forming a series of reflections on faith, living, and learning that offers a challenge both to "easy belief" systems and equally "easy doubt" commitments and calls the reader to find his or her own voice and to search one's own experience for the seeds of faith. The book offers an alternative to the churches and those forms of Christianity that too often produce only carbon copies of its ministers. The essays use the medium of story to engage readers, to communicate core values, and to function as a premise for posing hard questions and drawing the readers' attention to salient points. The core theme is around the idea of reluctant unbelievers; those who want to have faith but find it hard to believe; those who struggle with doubt; those who may identify as Christian but who privately question or wonder about how the rhetoric of the church relates honestly to the challenges of life. It is aimed at believers who do not go to church and to reluctant unbelievers who do. The goal of the book is to address challenges without adopting easy answers, or reverting to pious platitudes, or backing into a corner of having to defend the indefensible or arriving at an official (or endorsed) perspective. The book offers a call to its readers to avoid resignation to conformity with popular ideas, traditions, church-speak, and the pattern of reading and seeing things in the same way we/they always have. It is an invitation to embrace the unforeseen; to forsake the pasture and take to the pathways; and a summons to the life of a pilgrim rather than the existence of a settler. In this sense, the book is a bridge not a destination.

People who live in the mental world of Modernity cherish freedom at the core of being human, critical thinking as the arbiter of what to affirm-or not. History-evolution becomes the heart of human life, society, and all reality, and many ascribe to the benefits of cultural/religious pluralism. These stances require dialogue with those who do not share the same ones. In that dialogue all seek a depth and spiritual dimension in our everyday experiences.Club Modernity for Reluctant Christiansprovides reflections on the ultimate meaning of life that begin with our human experiences. Leonard Swidler rigorously pursues the questions raised within the context of freedom, critical-thinking, historical sensibility, and dialogue with the world-ultimately leading to an inner encounter with the Transcendent. This book will resonate for Christians, or "reluctant Christians," who are having difficulty reconciling these core characteristics of Modernity with their religious faith.
