Synopsis
An openness and a willingness to grow towards belief, rather than having it imposed from without, signify this work in alternative spirituality. WHAT WOULD I BELIEVE IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING? provides reassurance for the many who do not feel a genuine connection to organized religion but who clearly yearn for the fruits of belief. In the view of Kent Ira Groff, doubt is the path to belief, questioning and questing go hand in hand, and losing one's religion is a way of finding one's spirituality. Groff counsels against "outdated Godtalk" and other "barriers to believing," and provides meditations and other activities intended to open up the connection to an inner sense of faith, some of which take the form of engagements with popular culture like songs and films. Unique to this book is the idea that going it alone might not be the way: "By following your soul's path with some fellow pilgrims, rather than alone, you become a more loving and genuine person, and more aware of beauty in the brokenness in the world." WHAT WOULD I BELIEVE IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING? can help pilgrims find the rock they seek.

Publisher's Note
What Would I Believe if I Didn't Believe Anything? is a guidebook for spiritual orphans that shows how they can "doubt their way home" by embracing their doubts and asking the hard questions as a meaningful path toward genuine faith. The author helps readers value their own questions and learn to talk about spiritual matters in fresh, non-religious language. Rather than handing down doctrines "from above," Groff invites readers to look at life "from below," exploring experiences of daily living. He helps the reader to find the grace in the grit of everyday life, seeking analogies of faith in film and literature, psychology and science, poetry and arts, music and sports. Drawing primarily from the well of his Christian experience, Groff also incorporates insights from the world's primal myths and major religions.

Fifty reflection exercises make it ideal for group use with journeyers of varied backgrounds for campuses, prisons, communal residences, religious communities and work places.
