The purpose of EPIClicious is to engender reading and interactivity about what is being read. The licious in EPIClicious is from the Late Latin lacere which means to entice.

Journeying in Faith


From SPEC the publisher:

The journey of faith is not easy, particularly for those who find themselves inextricably drawn beyond the confines of established religion towards the unknown horizons of Christian belief.

Journeying in Faith is a provocative and moving book exploring the kind of faith that is built up by many church leavers in the dark and lonely places of faith, and how that faith can be nurtured and developed.

Alan Jamieson, author of A Churchless Faith, uses the testimony of those who have experiences of the darkest places of faith and characters from the Bible to provide a light to the path of those who have moved away from the Church, either physically or in heart or mind.

Also written for those who want to provide support and resources to those in the deserts of faith, this book provides insight into how we can embrace an altogether larger vision of God at work in our post-modern, twenty-first century world.

I attended a conference recently and met an author who has moved away from her faith and church. She was an engaging person and her conversation had not a note of bitterness. She simply moved. If this book lives up to its billing it may help those who find it difficult to embrace the Story of God in our time and space. Take a read and tell me what you think about changing one’s life story.
