    A vulnerable look at the faith questions we are afraid to admit we have 
     
    · for anyone struggling with depression, doubting God's goodness, or feeling like a misfit at church 
    · permission to ask the hard questions (and the just plain weird ones) 
    · deepen your relationship with God and others 
     
     
    When you've done all the right things, read all the right books, and listened to all the right worship songs, yet still feel like you don't have this faith thing figured out, what do you do? It can be hard to voice the questions and doubts floating around your head and heart to others. But you're not the only one who feels that way! 
     
    For anyone tired of church politics, the unspoken rules of Christian subculture, and taking themselves too seriously, Mark Tabb is your new best friend. He asks the questions you might hesitate to admit having, like 
     
    · Can I call myself a Christian if I don't watch The Chosen? 
    · Is God kind of mean but we're all afraid to say something? 
    · If I believe God is in control, why am I upset about politics? 
    · Why don't I feel it? 
    · What if I'm wrong? 
    · and more 
     
    Not only will he explore the answers to ten specific questions, he'll show you how to get comfortable talking with others about all the weird and uncomfortable questions you have. Because figuring out life together just might be the catalyst we need to renew our faith and our hope for the future.

    Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war—and his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.
