The faith that once seemed unshakeable may falter in the face of broken trust, unanswered prayers, and the harsh realities of worldly suffering. But you're not alone-mid-faith crises are a shared human experience that can feel isolating yet are a crucial part of our spiritual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMid-Faith Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague provide a compassionate exploration of this challenging phase. With backgrounds in theology and personal narratives of their own spiritual upheavals, they guide readers through the complex landscape of doubt and disillusionment. \u003ci\u003eMid-Faith Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e candidly addresses the often-unspoken realities of faith's evolution, offering solace and practical insights for navigating through turbulent waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough storytelling and reflection, McNiel and Hague offer practices and disciplines that help reclaim what is genuine and discard what is not. They reassure us that the crisis of faith is not an endpoint but a transformative stage that can lead to a more sincere and robust belief system. If you're in the midst of a spiritual reevaluation, \u003ci\u003eMid-Faith Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e will serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that while the road may be rocky, the destination holds the promise of deeper faith and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Chaplain McNiel (\u003ci\u003eFearing Bravely\u003c\/i\u003e) and pastor Hague (\u003ci\u003eAching Joy\u003c\/i\u003e) deliver an approachable guide to tackling crises of faith. They trace how even strong religious identities can be dismantled by life challenges or new perspectives, resulting in a 'death of faith' that leaves believers feeling lost and isolated. Arguing that this uncomfortable stage can be a productive period in one's spiritual journey, the authors unpack how readers can harness feelings of betrayal to seek new \"heroes of faith\"-often those quietly doing good away from the spotlight-and use their doubts to create a more honest, intimate relationship with God.\"\u003cb\u003e - Publishers Weekly Review, February 2025\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Relevant and practical in a time of church leader scandals and faith deconstruction, this book offers an empathy-filled way forward.\" \u003cb\u003e- Library Journal Review, May 2025\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine McNiel,Jason Hague\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.61w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514010365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2025 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine McNiel is a chaplain, author, editor, and speaker searching for the creative, redemptive work of God in our ordinary lives.
