Woven: A Faith For the Dissatisfied
Joel MckerrowPaperback 2019-11-15
This is is not a book of cookie-cut spirituality. It is not a book of answers, nor programmable spiritual growth. This book is a question. An invitation. A beckoning toward movement and allowing your world to be shaken.
A fish in a bowl doesn't know that it is wet. Surrounded always by its watery environment, it knows no other reality. We, too, suffer the same. Little fishes every one of us. Inescapably shaped by the waters we swim within. Whether we realise it or not, we all inherited a religion, a framework for existence, a container that shapes our world.
Yet, inevitably, there comes a time when the fishbowl cracks, when the safety we knew can no longer contain us, when our world crumbles and the questions arrive. Woven dares to put forth that this is not something to be feared, that it may actually be a door beginning to open. A necessary movement in our spiritual and life journey. It is the whisper inside, 'There must be more than this.'

Publisher Description
A fish in a bowl doesn't know that it is wet. Surrounded always by its watery environment, it knows no other reality. We, too, suffer the same. Little fishes every one of us. We are inescapably shaped in worlds not of our own making. The fishbowl of family. The fishbowl of culture. The fishbowl of church. The fishbowl of faith. Whether we realise it or not we inherit a religion, a framework for existence, a container that fits and shapes our world. A container we demand to be The Truth. Yet, always and inevitably, there comes a time when that fishbowl cracks, when the safety we knew can no longer contain us, when our world crumbles and the questions arrive. But maybe such moments in life and faith are not to be feared. Maybe, a cracked fishbowl is actually an invitation. A beckoning. A necessary movement in our spiritual and life journeys. An opening to the other.' 'Woven' dares readers to take a fresh look at their life and spirituality, to embrace the ache of dissatisfaction, and to acknowledge the silent voice that says, There must be more than this.'
