One woman's spiritual odyssey from belief to unbelief to understanding how belief invites us to learn how to sit in uncertainty and face our doubts.
In this candid, refreshingly honest exploration of faith and grief, Julie Taylor takes us on her transformative journey of walking away from belief--and choosing to come back on her own terms.
With a blend of science and storytelling, Taylor reveals how our beliefs act as the ultimate gatekeepers of our brains, determining how we process every single stimulus. Through both heartbreak and hope, she shows how these gatekeepers shape not just our thoughts, but our experience of reality itself.
From cynical skeptic to reluctant believer, Taylor's spiritual ping-pong match will resonate with anyone who's ever thought:
- "I don't fit in this faith box anymore."
- "How do I find hope when everything feels hopeless?"
- "Can I believe without dismissing all my doubts?"
- "Is it possible to find peace even when nothing is okay?"
With humor, science, and surprising vulnerability, Taylor navigates both faith transitions and grief with uncommon wisdom, showing us that our beliefs can be our greatest source of strength when facing life's most painful challenges.
Whether you're firmly planted in faith, happily doing your own thing, or somewhere in the messy middle, this book offers refreshing permission to examine where you are and where you want to be. Like Julie, maybe you'll discover that making room for questions is actually your secret superpower!
