Would you read this book?, 22 of 40

So, remember about 15 blogs ago or so when I said that I had come across a new publishing house that accepted submissions? And remember when I was wondering if I should take the time to write a submission? Remember how I wasn't sure if I should do it or not, and how I wasn't sure what I would write about? Well, I've done some thinking and I am moving considerably closer to doing it, so I have this idea for a book titled, "Eyes to See, Ears to Hear: a Journey to a Broader Faith."

What do you think of that title?

Does it grab you?

Do you think it is stupid?

Would you read it?

Along those same lines, this would be the short introduction to the book, tell me what you think.

Have you ever wondered what you were doing in church?  Have you ever asked yourself if it was all a big hoax, if it was all just a really good story that a few people told a few other people and then someone wrote it down?  What if Christianity is really just an elaborate game of telephone?  You know the game, people sit next to each other in a line.  In the beginning one person whispers a phrase into the ear of the first person, and then they whisper it into the next person, and so on and so on.  In the end what started as “The elephant has a long trunk” ends up as “You placed your stuffed elephant in a locker.”  What if our faith is similar to that?  Maybe Jesus started off as this really cool guy who loved God and then became this guy who was God.  Have you ever wondered that?  Well I have, and if you have we have something in common.  In addition if you have picked up this book, either in a Christian book store or the Religion section of a bookstore we also have a curiosity in common.  We both see that while everything may not make sense within the scope of Christianity we cannot just walk away from this guy named Jesus.  If this is you I welcome you to this shared pilgrimage.  There are only two things required for the journey, an open mind and an open heart.  My prayer for you is that somewhere within these pages you can move past worrying about being sure and can stand in the beautiful uncertainty of faith.

Come, Let's journey together.

Thanks for the input.

Peace and Love,
