Reviews
Compulsively readable, direct yet never indiscreet, Winner's book shows intelligence and verve as it seriously addresses the spiritual crises around God's apparent absence or silence, as faced by many. A must-have for Winner's readers and fans of Anne Lamott., Lauren Winner's prose is insightful, honest and always right on point. In each best-selling book, the Duke professor reclaims previously cliché-laden topics and has developed a new vocabulary for a generation fed up with conventional answers., 'Titles to pick up now... Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis : insights on spiritual uncertainty from a devout Christian convert.' (O, the Oprah Magazine), The book is made to pour over again and again. You'll fill the pages with underlines, the margins with notes. Each short chapter is loaded with insights that don't so much build on one another as weave a rich tapestry of possibilities in the midst of a spiritual desert., Not for the faint-hearted, Winner's book not only undresses and confronts doubt, but imparts new courage to trust God through it., In an age when it is much easier to make fun of the church than to love it ... Winner has made the church a main character so honestly drawn that we recognize it ... treasure it and laugh in amazement that God can work with it. Still., In present-tense, lyrical essays . . . [Winner] explores her emotional landscape as she struggles to move beyond the depression that plagues her following her mother's death and her own divorce. Examining feelings of grief, failure, and doubt . . . Winner brings poetic nuances to her exquisitely crafted prose., Winner is one of those gifted teachers who slips in some wisdom along with the sweet stuff on the spoon. We take our medicine from the ancients, the Christian mystics and the scriptures while tasting the sweetness of her narrative., Titles to pick up now... Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis : insights on spiritual uncertainty from a devout Christian convert., Still grasps for faith in a Middle space and discovers a stranger, bigger and more faithful God than we expected., Lauren Winner's brave, spare, and subtle book is a great gift to the church. She lifts up doubt and absence with enough honesty to reveal the unfinished edges, and the radiance, of faith itself., Soft and vulnerable, yet blunt and veracious . . . If you're a lover of books like Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott or any other writers who are not afraid to unveil their imperfections in hopes of finding kindred spirits, then take this walk with Winner., “In present-tense, lyrical essays . . . [Winner] explores her emotional landscape as she struggles to move beyond the depression that plagues her following her mother’s death and her own divorce. Examining feelings of grief, failure, and doubt . . . Winner brings poetic nuances to her exquisitely crafted prose.â€�, Despite deep pain and doubt, Winner relentlessly searches God's mysteries, seeking peace and authenticity in her faith. Her spiritual memoir is unblinking, credible, and compelling., Winner grabs God's hiddenness by the shoulders and will not let go. She knows the grace that can only be learned when we stand with Moses, staring into the raging waters, and hear a voice say, 'The LORD will fight for you; you need only to stand still., “Winner grabs God’s hiddenness by the shoulders and will not let go. She knows the grace that can only be learned when we stand with Moses, staring into the raging waters, and hear a voice say, ‘The LORD will fight for you; you need only to stand still.â€�, Winner writes thoughtfully and eloquently about finding herself in the middle and accepting her place there., Winner possesses a flair for narrative and a willingness to use her life's story as an easel. . . . Like Anne Lamott ( Traveling Mercies ), or Elizabeth Gilbert ( Eat, Pray, Love ), Winner is at her best spinning small but hopeful meditations on life's imperfections., Winner grabs God's hiddeness by the shoulders and will not let go. She knows the grace that can only be learned when we stand with Moses, staring into the raging waters, and hear a voice say, 'The LORD will fight for you; you need only to stand still., Anyone committed to truly examining the shape of personal faith, unfolding over the years in a broken world, should sense a fruitful opportunity, if not a solemn obligation, to expound at length…[Winner] probes these depths as deftly and eloquently as anyone writing today… An instant spiritual classic., ' Still grasps for faith in a Middle space and discovers a stranger, bigger and more faithful God than we expected.'

Synopsis
Following up her highly acclaimed Girl Meets God, author Lauren F. Winner has written an engrossing reflection of literary grace and spiritual wisdom with Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis. As she lives through a failed marriage and the loss of her mother, Winner finds her Christian faith slipping away. Through reading religious works and tomes and being counseled by leaders of the church, she learns she must find the courage to trust in God in order to to find His presence. Elegantly written and profound, Still offers reflections on how murky and gray the spiritual life can be while, at the same time, shows us how to see the light we do encounter more clearly., In the critically acclaimed memoir Girl Meets God, Lauren F. Winner chronicled her sojourn from Judaism to Christianity. Now, in Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis, Winner describes how experiences of loss and failure unexpectedly slam her into a wall of doubt and spiritual despair: "My belief has faltered, my sense of God's closeness has grown strained, my efforts at living in accord with what I take to be the call of the gospel have come undone." Witty, relatable, and fiercely honest, Winner lays bare her experience of what she calls the "middle" of the spiritual life. In elegant and spare prose, she explores why-in the midst of the overwhelming anxiety, loneliness, and boredom of her deepest questioning about where (or if) God is-the Christian story still explains who she is better than any other story she's ever known. Still is an absorbing meditation combining literary grace with spiritual wisdom. It is sure to resonate with anyone looking to sustain a spiritual life in the midst of real life., Following up her highly acclaimed Girl Meets God , author Lauren F.
