Many influences can cause a person to abandon the faith that they once loved: the hostility of secular society, misleading philosophical arguments, and painful experiences that undermine one’s beliefs about God and his Church.
This sensitive exploration of the reasons why people leave the Church offers encouragement and support to those most deeply affected by their decision. The central truth remains: that God comes looking for us when we are lost and separate ourselves from his life and his love. Drawing on the parables of Jesus, and the wisdom of famous men and women who were once lost and later returned to the Christian faith, Nick Donnelly explores this fundamental truth about God’s loving response to humanity.
