Excellent book to read on Deconstructing or redefining your faith

One of the hallmarks of a true, genuine faith is that they are your own convictions–not the beliefs of your parents or church leaders.With the social construct of today's environment, there is a high value placed on individualizing your ideology. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate your convictions and why you believe them. So, how does one proceed with evaluating what is important in their faith journey? In this easy to read book, McDowell and Marriott do an excellent job answering that question. The authors contend that the first step is to have a guide and guardrails. Although the ultimate guide is Jesus Christ, it is important to have someone that you can talk with who has a faithful understanding of Jesus. The guardrails defined in this book will prevent you from spiritually crashing. The logic and the motivations for deconstruction that is presented is outstanding. The illustrations and stories used to make their points are awesome. I really enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about my faith in the process. I would highly recommend this book!
