Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction
Ebook
Overview
After your faith has fractured, let what takes its place be the real thing . . . at last.
Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits?
If you’re walking this difficult spiritual path, Lina AbuJamra understands you. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, Lina had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like:
- Where is God in my pain?
- Is this how Christians are supposed to act?
- Why did my story end up this way?
- Is this the normal Christian life?
- Why is it so hard for Christians to love?
Let Fractured Faith help you find your way back to God. You just might discover that the real God has been waiting for you all along.
In Fractured Faith, Lina AbuJamra—ER doc by training and temperament—narrates her painful winnowing through a pastor’s betrayal, a church’s failure, and a lineup of wolves ready to devour her and whatever other sheep remained. Lina’s journey is messy. Some of the things Lina says in this book make me cringe. Survival comes in fits. It grabs at the dark and grabs at the throat. And in the midst of this, we see grace: ‘the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment’ (2 Peter 2:9). Fractured Faith points to the glory of God in our weakness and to the Lord’s power to keep His true sheep in the grace that we need to finish the race well. Even when our pastors do not measure up. Even when our churches do not measure up. Even when friends prove themselves to be wolves. Even when we do not measure up. Christ always measures up. And that’s the point.
