Wondering: Christianity for Questioners
Wondering may mean questioning; it may also mean marveling. The best sort of wondering does both. Wondering involves a sense of curiosity and a sense of awe. In wondering, we ask “How?” and exclaim “Wow!”If you have hard questions that demand reasonable answers, Christianity addresses your mind. If you feel amazed at the marvels and mysteries of life, Christianity expands your spirit. This book explores how sensible and stunning Christianity is, in case you were wondering.

Where do I even start?
A well-intentioned coworker lent me this book as I've been considering giving Christianity another chance lately. Well, this book did more to make me question that decision than support it.
First and foremost, the book is written for believers, not questioners as the title would have you believe. I can't think of too many skeptics who would read this book and take it seriously. It's poorly written and assumes it's own hypothesis is true simply because "the Bible says so", and the author simply wants it to be true.
The book has enough self awareness to know at least some of the criticisms it will face, and it addresses these in the final chapters. However, it doesn't *effectively* address them.
To sum it up, "Christianity is right and everyone else is wrong because the Bible says so" is basically the premise of this book. Throw in some transphobia within the last fifteen pages and my already strong urge to toss this book aside was only strengthened, but stronger was my urge to prove a point, if only to myself: I'm more tolerant than the author of this book, and I will at least try to give this a chance.
That I did, and after the transphobic comment, allow me this conclusion: this book is garbage. Delusional, ignorant, intolerant garbage.

A must read for everyone
This book is not just for believers, but also unbelievers and those in between. There is a place in each of us the wonder! Some of my questions that I never spoke out loud were answered, so it gave me comfort that I’m not the only one who had questions. Faith is important, but what you build your relationship with Jesus on is far more important.
