Synopsis "Puddles from a Drooling Mind: ...a Quest for Meaning through an Informed Faith (in English)"
...a Quest for Meaning through an Informed Faith: This book is for people who have more questions than they have faith. Most books on religion are filled with dogmas disguised as facts, and guidance on how to interpret things - all targeted to people who already believe. Puddles from a Drooling Mind takes a different approach. It says it is OK to have serious unresolved questions about religion, and not be sure of what you believe. It offers unique appeal for people who realize that blind faith, the faith they were perhaps born into and raised with, doesn't quite do it for them anymore. Readers will explore the path to an informed faith, which involves daring to ask important questions and searching for better answers than the prepackaged ones. Informed faith leads to a greater sense of fulfillment, despite irresolvable questions associated with traditional faiths. Denis Joseph Stemmle's own spiritual journey illustrates the elements of informed faith through personal stories, impressions, and conversations. This work neither proselytizes nor rejects the premises of traditional faith. The author offers a number of important and sometimes controversial points, including: -Each of us sees our God not as He is, but as we are. -If you don't see my faith lived out in my relationships with the people I am closest to, then my religion counts for nothing. -Righteousness is a barrier to insight: It is a lifelong challenge to discover and question my own righteousness. -Sometimes informed faith requires understanding the principles behind the rules, while questioning how the rules are applied. The roots of an informed faith are based on understanding what Jesus actually taught, what his values were, and how he applied them. -Life is too short to waste it on bad liturgies. If liturgies do what they are supposed to do, they affect how I live my life. Puddles from a Drooling Mind aims to challenge your thinking and stir things up...and then invites you to reflect on the questions offered in each chapter and use them in daily journaling or in group discussions.
