A Comment on “10 Things I Hate About Christianity”

I recently sent a sample of my book 10 Things I Hate About Christianity:Working Through the Frustrations of Faith to someone to read. Here is her comment after reading it:

“For me, I have always accepted my faith and never went through the questioning that many have.  I don’t know why I never questioned, but maybe it was the environment I grew up in.  Who knows?  Many times, I have to stop, think, and realize that I’m the weird one and most don’t see faith the same way I do.  Reading this gives great perspective on what other’s think and helps someone like me when talking to others.  I think the intro. and first chapter are a great read for someone seeking answers and for those like me who never second guessed their faith, but need to understand the thought processes of others when questioning Christianity.”

What I love about her comment (besides that it is positive) is that I never told her anything about the book. That’s because I wanted her spontaneous, uninfluenced first impression.

What she took away is exactly why I wanted to write this book. I wanted to to tell a story for the rest of us. The one that doesn’t get talked about much. The story about how difficult it actually is to have and maintain faith.

I can’t say it any better than she did in her email to me. I can only hope others will receive it in much the same way. I am going to post some sample reading on my site here soon for all to read.  I promise!
