Drumroll! This is a big day for me. It’s the day of a new roll-out for “Wrestling with God: Stories of Doubt and Faith.”<\/p>\n

I’m releasing it under my own imprint, Blackberry Canyon Press.<\/p>\n

It’s the same prizewinning<\/a> “Wrestling with God” that was published in 2015, a book that I believe has much to offer our globalized, multi-faith, strife-ridden — post 2024 election — world, especially as the holiday season approaches.<\/p>\n

When you order a copy be sure to order the\u00a0“Wrestling with God” that\u2019s published by Blackberry Canyon Press. You’ll find it wherever books are sold, including:<\/p>\n

Why I Wrote ‘Wrestling with God’<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I put years of work into writing “Wrestling with God,” and my hope in writing it was that, in our increasingly globalized world, it might inspire conversations between people of differing traditions and temperaments.<\/p>\n

It includes the voices of a Buddhist monk, a fundamentalist Christian, a progressive Muslim, a happy atheist, and a hopeful skeptic (me), all Americans in search of a way to believe in God — or something — in our twenty-first-century world.<\/p>\n

Why a New Roll-Out for ‘Wrestling with God’?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Why the switcheroo? Why the re-release?<\/p>\n

My publisher Patheos.com<\/a> shut down its book publishing arm some time ago. Which means the rights to “Wrestling with God” have reverted to me.<\/p>\n

Which means if I want to keep my book in print, it’s up to me to make it happen.<\/p>\n

And that has involved quite a bit of\u00a0 work.<\/p>\n
