<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Finding the Gospel</em> is a book about changing one's mind. Or, more accurately, it is a book about how I have changed my mind about some portions of the Christian faith-especially its central message. Apparently, I am not the only one caught up in this rethinking endeavor. Some people suggest Christianity itself is undergoing one of its every 500-year "rummage sales" when all manner of doctrines and practices are dragged out to the driveway for disposal.1 I don't know if that's true-and I will be long dead before the historians settle the question-but what I do know is that as I enter the fourth quarter of my life, my own faith doesn't look like it did in the first quarter, or, for that matter, in any previous quarter. It is still a work in progress. Perhaps it is so for you, too. If so, I'd like for this book to be my way of sharing notes with you. </p><p><br></p><p> There's one thing I learned very soon in my process: Change is hard work. Intellectually and emotionally, it is hard work. If we were talking about something less emotionally charged-such as changing from cable to satellite TV-it would be so much simpler. But when the change has to do with what you think about God and everything south thereof, the stakes are much higher.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"... a wonderful book ... deserves a very wide readership" -Fisher Humphreys, Samford University</p><p>"Day calls us to reflect on what it means not only to enter into faith, but also to be formed by faith throughout our lives." -Bill J.
