Wrestling with God

4/3/2021

An inveterate doubter for most of her adult life, award-winning journalist Barbara Falconer Newhall embarks upon a quest to find a way to believe in God in the twenty-first century. The result is Wrestling with God: Stories of Doubt and Faith, which details her years-long search for the Divine in the lives of radically diverse Americans - from a fundamentalist Christian activist to a progressive Muslim leader to a Hindu classical dancer.

In Wrestling with God, Newhall presents the deeply personal stories of a score of Americans encountered on her journey- believers, skeptics, contemplatives, activists. She also reports on the progress of her own rocky spiritual journey and how ultimately she arrives at a place of surrender to the universe's enduring mystery.

Barbara Newhall is a member of St. John's. In her book there is an interview with former St. John's member Geoff Machin. Book orders are print on demand. Please allow two weeks delivery for your Amazon order so order early. For ZOOM link please sign up for our eblasts by sending an email to [email protected].
