Here is a good interview of Nick Fiedler author of the hopeful skeptic (which I am currently reading and which I may or may not have been mentioned about on pages 135-136 and in fact in this clip, I realize as I am writing this), who I met in the Bahamas back 2007. It’s cool that Project51 is making a difference if not just in the lives of the people we have blessed with it, but even in changing peoples view of the church. (Note to self: make a post on motion sickness and the open house about P51)

I am about halfway through the book and really enjoying it. I totally recommend it as a helpful book if you are going through a time of questioning the church and your faith.

I am sure Spencer (whom I met at Soularize) would be the first to tell you he didn’t author this book, so for clarity this book is a collection of articles from the ooze website that Spencer picked for his book.

I think sometimes we rank books, music or movies based on the time of life they touch us. And so I am quick to give this book high praise and CP marks (I give it 4/5 as a book for rethinking). I am at a serious stage of rethinking (I know I always seem to be at that point), and so this book was the perfect match to my time of life. I received this book for free from Spencer from my time in the Bahamas at Soularize and decided to pick it up a week or so ago. And to my surprise it was exactly what i was looking for. Every article (specifically the ones at the beginning and at the end) seemed to speak where I was at. Not in ways that would fix my problems, but allowing me to sit in the problem in order to work it out. You see there wasn’t one article that I would say I totally agreed with, in fact a lot of them I pushed back, but it was the freedom of thought that I enjoyed. It has inspired me to write more to, and to share my thoughts even though they are very incomplete at their best.

So if you have a moment pick this book up and read the first 3 articles. All three of these had me hooked and inspired. Inspired not to do, but to undo and detox, and move in a direction even if it isn’t the right one…although it could be the right one for now.
