You've been spiritual a while. But something happened, and now you don't know if you believe in God anymore. Your faith has faded, and your fire for spiritual things has dwindled to a small, withering ember.And what's worse: you can't tell anyone. They'll call you backslid, or heretical. So you suffer silently, never discussing your confusion. The result is you shrink from God, embark on a perplexing quest for truth, or drift in spiritual dryness for months, years, or even decades. Both you and your faith community lose.
Also, the church isn't equipped to deal with such crises. So they avoid the subject and never acknowledge the invisible truth with power to derail entire sectors of the spiritual community.But are you secure enough in your faith to admit you question it?Beyond the Wall is an honest, detailed account of a crisis of belief which is common to most - yet often not discussed, acknowledged, or documented. In it you'll learn:*The typical pattern of most faith lives*When and how a faith crisis - referred to as the Wall - is reached*The characteristics of our time at the Wall*How the church can help us overcome it*A picture of life beyond the crisisPerhaps you're experiencing a predicament of unknown origins. Your spirituality has wilted and you're lost in its midst. Or, maybe you've dropped out of your faith community to search for truth you're not sure exists. You don't know how to move on, or even if you can. Perhaps you're a pastor with a shrinking congregation and disenchanted spirit.
Some of your church attendees have disappeared or indicated they're cynical. You want to help, but don't know how. If so, Beyond the Wall is for you.There's no need to continue in uncertainty. You don't need to accept the dilemma as status quo. Our spiritual fires can grow - not fade - with time. There is help to move past your crisis to an enriching, dynamic faith life full of excitement you haven't experienced in some time. In short: there is hope, and it lies beyond the Wall.
