I Need Answers

by Dawit Muluneh, Devin Schmidt (Illustrator), Christian Editing Services (Editor)

Whether you are just beginning your journey into the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church or have long been a member but are looking for answers to your questions about the church, "I Need Answers" is for you. Although the answers are gathered from Church fathers and holy books, the style of writing provides clear answers to complicated questions. The past few years the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has seen her youth leaving in mass numbers. Why? Mainly because the youth cannot get understandable answers to their questions. The Church uses Amharic as its primary language and Ge’ez as the liturgical, preventing young people born in America from being able to understand the worship or teaching of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church.. Deacon Dawit Muluneh, who has traveled around the United States teaching and preaching during the last decade, has gathered the most frequently asked questions and provided answers in a way that can be understood by the youth. Each chapter focuses on a particular question, addressing central themes of Christianity and teaching about the uniqueness of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. It also addresses issues specific to young adults like spiritual dating and depression and more controversial issues like homosexuality in the context of the church.

I’ve read parts of this book before but I finally read it fully and was thoroughly impressed by how well it addressed a variety of topics within the Orthodox church. Parts of it are definitely geared towards a younger audience but I would still recommend :)

This is me exploring my religious/christianity era and acc asking questions and challenging my faith. I really enjoyed this book bc it answered a lot of the big questions young people have in a way that was entertaining but didn’t dumb down the content.
