Gulley encourages us to seek answers within and develop our own apologetics, a belief system that evolves as new ideas and realities are introduced. As we un-tether ourselves from those tenets that no longer further the faith, we can open ourselves to a Christianity we can believe in—one that brings out the best in us; a Christianity comfortable with people of other faiths; a Christianity grateful for scientific knowledge; a Christianity rooted in God’s grace and informed by Jesus’s example.  This book is Gulley’s ongoing effort to build a Christianity many of us long for, but haven’t yet found.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Every serious Christian ought to read this book, ponder it,wrestle with it, but above all, be grateful for its presence in today’s urgent conversation about what we are and are becoming as a people of God.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If I were forced to pretend to believe in God again, I would choose Philip Gulley’s God: a deity who cares not whether you worship him, but how you treat other people.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDan Barker, author of Godless\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The verve and clarity of Gulley’s writing underscore the welcome nature of his message to many thoughtful “unchurched” or alienated Christians.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Because of the gentle  intelligence of his storytelling as much as his homely, experiential theology, he may convince many that they are progressive Christians, too.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“No one raises provocative questions about Christianity more kindly than Philip Gulley. ” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiana Butler Bass, author of Christianity for the Rest of Us\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Whether you agree with all of Philip Gulley’s theology—and in several places I don’t—there is no question about the fact that he has defined here more clearly than perhaps any other contemporary commentator the current truth about the Church.
