How To Believe In God: (whether You Believe In Religion Or Not)

In HOW TO BELIEVE IN GOD, Clark Strand, a former Zen teacher and an accomplished master of both Eastern and Western mystical practices, takes on the most troublesome and provocative passages from Judeo-Christian scripture, transforming the Bible into a manual of spiritual liberation for the twenty-first century seeker. Offering a revolutionary new model of Bible study, he frees the Bible from superstition, dogma, and tribalism, and recovers its universal teachings on salvation and belief.
Drawing on stories from his Bible Belt upbringing, his experiences as a Buddhist monk, and his life as a father and husband in a small rural community, Strand is able to make even the most subtle spiritual teachings heartfelt and accessible. HOW TO BELIEVE IN GOD illuminates a clear path to reclaiming a God that leaves nothing out and no one left behind, and Strand's pioneering approach to faith allows everyone from churchgoing Christians to those with no religious affiliation at all to experience the Bible afresh.
