Description

Have you been religiously inclined for a while, but feel that there is more to Christian faith than is told on Sundays? Perhaps your current ideas about God, about Jesus and about what it means to live well, no longer satisfy you? Maybe you are questioning whether the firmly held beliefs you grew up with are going to be useful in the next stage of your life? Don't panic! You have simply reached a transition point in your faith journey. It's time for a change and it will be unsettling. Through the medium of weekly conversations in a local café Susan Jones creatively explores what it's like to live through this threshold of faith, by telling us the story of Hope, a young woman who has followed the religious rules all her life but is ready to move on. What will Hope do next? As Susan says in her introduction, "In this novel you have come across part of Hope's journey. Not all of it may suit you right now. Here, though, are ideas and metaphors which may help with the questions buzzing round your head. These conversations seek to support re-enchantment of your journey. To help you move into post-critical thinking. I hope the book helps you understand the reasons for the changes in your thinking, and in other people's. I hope too that you will learn how important it is that we do change."

Author Biography:

Susan is no stranger to the pain of being other, as she's navigated faith and gender issues. Her writing has been honed as a teacher, spiritual director, supervisor and minister. She's completed a doctorate in theology too. Susan's agile, spacious mind engages respectfully with diverse beliefs and opinions; distilling complex ideas, making change accessible. Life feels possible, hopeful after conversations illustrated with her serviette graffiti. She brings a gentle, quirky sense of humour to her writing. Susan's coffee shop conversations trilogy integrates years of church, study, scholarly observation, struggle and no small measure of pain, undergirded by authenticity, deep faith, and a sense of the numinous.
