It can be hard, almost impossible these days, to have a fruitful conversation about God. How do we express to others and ourselves the ground of our being, the source of all life and being, the ultimate mystery? In a world full of surface realities and humdrum concerns, a genuine effort to speak of God calls for all our life’s experiences.
In his newest book Struggling to Believe?, Monsignor Tony Doherty, a retired priest from the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. offers a perspective on how to speak about God today in a manner that makes sense and brings nourishment in this restless, stormy, but beautiful world. He believes that taking our own life-stories seriously holds an important clue to achieving this.
Tony shares over six decades of his life experiences as a priest in the Catholic Church, an educator, a hospital chaplain, and his own family history to offer a glimpse into the life of ‘one wrestling believer’.
Full of gorgeous images, fascinating personal experiences, and insightful reflection, Struggling to Believe? takes the reader on a journey of faith like no other – leaving them with a stronger understanding of their own beliefs and how these fit into modern Australia.
You can purchase Struggling to Believe? through Garret Publishing.
