Questioning God (Never What You Have in Mind) From Englewood Review of Books (ERB), who have named Sacredness the 2009 Englewood Book of the Year: ...Dark champions the power — and the spiritual necessity — of the open mind. Asking questions of our convictions, assumptions, perversions, religions, is the only way to let the light and air into them. “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in,” he maintains, using Leonard Cohen’s words. Questioning our God(s), our government, our eschatology, our language or our lusts, opens them to the possibility of rehabilitation, redemption and ultimately resurrection. NOTE: ERB notes that, while supplies last, a free download of the audiobook version of this book is available. Get the audiobook. Find this book on Abebooks.
