Honest to God

Christianity at the Convergence of Tradition, Reason, and Mystery

By John Speers

Available from Amazon, Apple Books, or by order from your local bookstore.

You can check out the first few chapters through the “Look Inside” link on the Amazon page.

This book is about Christianity as a path to spiritual awakening and inner peace—a path that is entirely compatible with science and the best of contemporary culture. It is about how honest understanding of the tradition and of ourselves can help us grow from an old religious worldview that does not work anymore into one that does.
