What if doubt isn't an obstacle to faith but an opening to authentic encounters with God?
Writing with a pastor's heart and a storyteller's love of language, Jack Reese looks back on a lifetime of ministry to share what he has learned along the way: that seasons of uncertainty when old answers no longer hold are often when faith becomes most alive.
With honesty, humor, and an abundance of hope, Reese reclaims the deeper storyline of Scripture, where unanswered questions and unresolved doubts are not obstacles on the spiritual path but openings--hidden patches of holy ground where we're likely to see God. Drawing from decades of walking with others through both beauty and brokenness, he offers glimpses of a God who often works in mystery--whose grace sometimes arrives in our lives head-on but more often emerges from the side, where we least expect it.
Grace, Sideways isn't a book of scripted answers or spiritual clichés. It's a deeply personal witness from a seasoned pastor still learning to hold belief and doubt in the same hand. It's a companion for those with young faith--or no faith at all--who aren't sure what to do when the puzzle pieces don't seem to fit, and for those who have walked with God for years but now find some of their old beliefs cracking. Brimming with empathy and vivid insight, Grace, Sideways will encourage anyone who wonders whether doubts and difficult questions have a place in the Christian life.
