Book Description:

Writer and podcaster Erin Moon has questions, and this book is her open letter for anyone who feels iffy, conflicted, or just downright devastated by this disconnect. With empathy, insight, and the therapy of memes and a good laugh, Erin maps out not a rigid prescription but an open-hearted pathway for you to reclaim what you once loved about your faith home and light a match to the rest.

As it turns out, God is not afraid of your questions. To the contrary, the fullness of the Christian story is found not in a certainty checklist but a vision of a people who wrestle with God. This is the story to which Erin turns and guides you through, as youWhen your faith as you know it has been commodified, nationalized, scandalized, and rebranded beyond recognition, is it even possible to recover the “good” of Jesus from this cluster of epic proportions?

My Take:

I received a digital copy of this book from Baker Books and NetGally. I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’ve Got Questions by Erin Hicks Moon Review Graphic

Thought-provoking questions and ideas that you might not have considered before.

Leading with her own stories and history with her faith and religion, the author fills the book with some great questions that she has had over the years. I found myself either nodding along – having had a similar experience or question – or pausing to consider if a new-to-me question triggers anything in my self. I love a deeply thought-provoking read.

Sharing her own questions and hesitations, gives a sense of normalcy and invitation to consider your own.

This books is like sitting down with a close friend. You feel the need to share this thought you’ve had, but you don’t really know if 1) it’s a thought you should be having and 2) if the person you are talking with will judge you or laugh at you or think you are weird or crazy. The author sharing her own stories and questions truly opens the door to conversation and deep-thinking exercises. No judgement, condescension, or labeling to be found.

The Final Verdict

My rating: 4 stars

Would I recommend? Yes

Great read for anyone.
Especially welcome if the reader also has internal questions that they feel odd about asking!
