Have you ever felt like Christianity supports only a minimal amount of intellectual input in our lives of spiritual growth? How does a pastor go about leading the Sunday faithful with so many doubts?

After years of striving to grasp the "right" way to believe and teach the faith, Keith Long, ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), ventured off the known path and stepped into the void without his Christian beliefs. This book describes his journey of why and what happened next.
