Description:Faith Beyond Belief is the GOLD WINNER of the 2013 Nautilus Award in Religion/spirituality - Western Traditions. This prestigious award is granted to exceptional literary contributions to spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, green values, responsible leadership and positive social change. Nautilus' motto is "Better Books for a Better World" Faith Beyond Belief gives a much-needed voice to the �good” people who have left their church but whose spirituality continues to mature. Johnston uses first-person stories as well as known spiritual authorities in describing various stages of religious growth. Some of these real-life accounts are by nonbelievers; others are by those among the growing numbers of the �spiritual but not religious.” All are thoughtful people with too much integrity to live what they consider a lie. The stories of the nonbelievers-including an ex-Catholic, a former Mormon, and a clandestine Muslim apostate who left his community after the attacks of 9/11-show how complete confidence in human reason can lead away from literal religious interpretation. But, while that step is a necessary one on the spiritual path, it is only intermediate. Her second set of stories are of people at the �mystic” level who can tolerate paradox and see truth and reality as multidimensional.Johnston’s book will help doubters to see things in a new light as well as those who are struggling to clarify their own spiritual vision. It also points beyond the atheist/believer controversy wreacking such divisive havoc in our culture today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
