"Every serious Christian ought to read this book, ponder it,wrestle with it, but above all, be grateful for its presence in today's urgent conversation about what we are and are becoming as a people of God." - Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence "If I were forced to pretend to believe in God again, I would choose Philip Gulley's God: a deity who cares not whether you worship him, but how you treat other people." - Dan Barker, author of Godless "The verve and clarity of Gulley's writing underscore the welcome nature of his message to many thoughtful "unchurched" or alienated Christians." - Library Journal (starred review) "Because of the gentle intelligence of his storytelling as much as his homely, experiential theology, he may convince many that they are progressive Christians, too." - Booklist "No one raises provocative questions about Christianity more kindly than Philip Gulley. " - Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity for the Rest of Us "Whether you agree with all of Philip Gulley's theology--and in several places I don't--there is no question about the fact that he has defined here more clearly than perhaps any other contemporary commentator the current truth about the Church. Every serious Christian ought to read this book, ponder it,wrestle with it, but above all, be grateful for its presence in today's urgent conversation about what we are and are becoming as a people of God." - Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence "In our ever changing world, Gulley's book is much needed.

An important book for any person of faith." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, author of Made for Goodness.
