America's favourite Quaker storyteller explores the terrain of
faith and doubt as shaped by family, church, and young love,
finding his way to a less convenient but fully formed adult
spirituality. Most of us grow up taking in whole belief systems
with our mother's milk, only to discover later that what we
received as being certain is actually nothing like it. And then
we're faced with a choice--retreat to spiritual security and the
community that comes with it, or strike out into the unknown. With
his trademark humour and down-home wisdom, Philip Gulley serves as
just the spiritual director a wayward pilgrim could warm to,
inviting readers into his own sometimes rollicking, sometimes
daunting journey of spiritual discovery. He writes about being
raised by a Catholic mother and a Baptist father across the street
from a family of Jehovah's Witnesses--all three camps convinced the
others are doomed. To nearly everyone's consternation, Philip grows
up to be a Quaker and a pastor. In Unlearning God, Gulley showcases
his well-loved gift as a storyteller and his acute sensibilities as
a public theologian in conversations that will charm, provoke,
encourage, and inspire.
