Its a review about this product
I have just finished reading "O Me of Little Faith" by Jason Boyett. It took me at least three weeks NOT because it is long but because I wanted to savor it.
The book is an exploration of faith and doubt, but in accessible language and stories as well as terrific argument, logic, and dot-connecting. Not that Boyett is going to argue us into faith or argue us out of doubt. In fact, he concludes that doubt actually stokes faith and gives an impetus to life. Aren't we all here to be joyously confused, enthusiastic bumper car drivers trying to turn here and there with the breeze in our hair and our parents grinning at the sheer fun we are having?
I found Boyett's stories of his religious upbringing totally fascinating. I was raised in a very liberal and committed church family but our fervor was always kept under wraps. Some call that Presbyterian and I might acknowledge that over a beer. Needless to say, Boyett's stories would work well over a beer, too. He's the kind of writer and thinker that makes it safe to chat about just about anything. And about Everything.
It's interesting to read someone who is both a relaxed writer, full of conversational quips, and also of strong mind. He's going to poke, prod, joke, think, push but never let go. We need such strong thinkers and we need them to be available to us in exactly this sort of book.
