Book Reviews of In Search of Belief
Book Review: Examinig my beliefs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second book that I have read by Joan Chittister. Her writing is clear and her truths are relevant and meaningful for life. In this book, In Search of Belief, Chittister uses the Apostles Creed as the framework for her journey into exactly what Christian belief means for her. Sharing her belief, there are areas where we disagree, but that does not lessen the impact of her words and insights. She forces me to open my mind beyond my own thoughts and look at familiar words through a new lens. This helps me to grow in my faith and the help me affirm my own beliefs. I believe that this was Chittister's goal, and she succeeded admirably.
Summary of In Search of Belief
Contemporary political venues have put religious belief at the forefront of our thinking. Yet, we live in a world where religion has become a tool people can use to their advantage rather than a means of growing closer to God. In this revised edition of In Search of Belief, Sister Joan Chittister challenges readers to reflect upon whether they truly live what they say they believe or whether they have created their own images of God to suit whatever is convenient for their personal and/or social situations.With a new foreword by Tom Roberts (National Catholic Reporter) and a new Introduction by the author, this fresh edition examines the Apostles' Creed phrase-by-phrase, offering challenging interpretations of its familiar themes and a provocative way of understanding--and expressing--its tenets.
