Summary

Gulley explores the terrain of faith and doubt as shaped by family, church, and young love. As they question their faith, many are faced with a choice: retreat to spiritual security and the community that comes with it, or strike out into the unknown. Himself raised by a Catholic mother and a Baptist father, Gulley found his way to a less convenient but fully formed adult spirituality: he became a Quaker and a pastor. Here he offers conversations on faith that will charm, provoke, encourage, and inspire. -- adapted from jacket
