Publisher Comments:

Who's going to Hell? Why do bad things happen to good people? Does praying work? Are miracles even happening today? The #1 book featured on ABC News and described as fascinating and rather risky, 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith is geared to help all types of people explore and work through the frustrations of faith. It is an excellent resource for the spiritually curious, new followers of Jesus, and seasoned Christians struggling with disillusionment. Combined with the official Discussion Guide (available @ 10thingsihate.com), it is the premiere tool for small groups, college classes, reading clubs, or Bible studies looking to talk about something out-of-the-ordinary. Be ready for a healthy examination and exciting journey through the foundations of the Christian faith and spirituality. Includes subjects like: *Faith *Prayer *The Bible *Sin *Rules *Love *Hell *Answers (to difficult questions) *Church *Christians *The Problem of Evil and Suffering *Pluralism and Relativism *Premarital Sex *Homosexuality *Coming Soon: additional resources to help group leaders--like how to approach the 5 different personality types in your group and how to navigate the 5 most difficult issues. From the back cover: Hate: (n) a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action* My dad never let me use the word hate. He said it sounded too violent. But it was often the only accurate description of how I felt. Part of me understood, but another part of me rebelled. We can all feel hate. Even in the good, productive, and meaningful aspects of life, there's frequently a level of frustration that overwhelms us when we are faced with trying to achieve certain goals--like getting in shape, making the grade, or straightening out our finances. This is where I got stuck in my spirituality. Within these pages are the 10 things I've hated about Christianity over the years and how I've worked through my frustrations. I call it the intersection of real life, simple faith, and raw emotion. And I am confident it can help in your own spiritual journey. *WordNet Princeton University lexical database for the English language

Andrea Cumbo, March 26, 2009 (view all comments by Andrea Cumbo)
Every once in a while, I run across someone who says they would love to come to Jesus but there are all these sticky issues in the way, like hell, all those rules and sin. It would happen even more often when I was a Youth Director and some of our teenagers were just trying to think through the faith they’d grown up with.

Jason Berggren’s 10 things I Hate about Christianity: Working through the Frustrations of Faith is a good guide for both groups and a lot more of use besides. Written with clarity, honesty and plenty of humour, Berggren talks personally about the issues he and every Christian should confront at some time or other and helps to open our minds to wider paths than we might have considered before.

10 things is a good book to keep on hand because sometime we are going to run into another of those thinking, questioning folks.
