O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling

Rate this book
In O Me of Little Faith, author Jason Boyett brings you a transparent and personal account of his own of struggles with doubts and unbelief in living out his faith. With humor and frankness, Boyett uses personal anecdotes and a fresh look at Scripture to explore the realities of pursuing Christ through a field of doubt. After three decades of knowing God, understanding Christianity, and living a Christian life, Boyett has come to the place where he can voice the tough questions and travel the road of uncertainty with blinders off, candor on. The message along the way is one of encouragement: Relax. Rely on the grace of a merciful God, a kind father who realizes that his finite creatures must have doubts, should have questions, and will have trouble making sense of an infinite Creator. Ultimately, Boyett concludes that doubt and faith are not polar opposites, but actually work together, existing side-by-side. Uplifting, entertaining, hopeful, O Me of Little Faith will strike a chord with you and any Christian who's dealing with the uncertainties of living life in pursuit of a God who occasionally seems to disappear.

O Me of Little Faith by Jason Boyett is a book about doubt by a guy who’s determined to keep the faith. I wanted to read it because I enjoyed an article by this author in Relevant Magazine and from there I discovered and began frequenting his blog (His old one here: http://blog.jasonboyett.com/, he’s since moved it to http://blog.beliefnet.com/omeoflittle... )

In the book I encountered the humor I’ve come to expect from Boyett. As a mom of three boys who is trying her best to raise them to believe in and follow Jesus I especially appreciated his boyhood faith stories. I find myself reassured that in spite of his early faith encounters and beliefs, many of which had to be shed and reshaped, he still grew into a man who explains, “Discarding faith would be like discarding both my legs at the hip. I’ve been standing on them for as long as I can remember. Faith is part of who I am. It would be deeply wounding to lose it.”

Yes, exactly.

I too am a doubter. This wasn’t so difficult earlier in my faith because unlike Boyett I didn’t grow up in the church or with family guiding me toward Christianity. In my high school and college experience working through one’s faith by tossing out the big questions was embraced, but somewhere along the way I came to realize that certain ideas and subjects were taboo in the adult faith world. Mutter the world universalism and you could be branded a heretic. Ditto if you imply that a book/story of the Bible could be metaphor. Or that some of what we believe was influenced by other religions/beliefs of the culture during biblical times. Or…

So what happens if you’re still ok with asking the big questions, admitting that you don’t come down on any particular side of a theological debate because well, you just don’t know? Do you keep quiet in church or just forgo the façade? Boyett, who is a committed member of a Southern Baptist church, is making room for another alternative: Go. Doubt. Serve. Be Honest. See what happens.

The “Be Honest” part is where we doubters are going to have to stand together. I’ve been in a traditional Sunday school environment where a non-traditional idea gets offered up and then everyone looks uncomfortable until the leader or most outspoken person sets this person “straight.” Ouch. But if we want our faith places to embrace those of little, beginning, or none-at-all faith, we’ve got to change this. We can no longer be afraid of where conversations may lead us. Can we bring the vulnerability Boyett exemplifies in this book into our churches? If we care about the survival of the modern church, I think we have to.

I have just finished reading "O Me of Little Faith" by Jason Boyett. It took me at least three weeks NOT because it is long but because I wanted to savor it.

The book is an exploration of faith and doubt, but in accessible language and stories as well as terrific argument, logic, and dot-connecting. Not that Boyett is going to argue us into faith or argue us out of doubt. In fact, he concludes that doubt actually stokes faith and gives an impetus to life. Aren't we all here to be joyously confused, enthusiastic bumper car drivers trying to turn here and there with the breeze in our hair and our parents grinning at the sheer fun we are having?

I found Boyett's stories of his religious upbringing totally fascinating. I was raised in a very liberal and committed church family but our fervor was always kept under wraps. Some call that Presbyterian and I might acknowledge that over a beer. Needless to say, Boyett's stories would work well over a beer, too. He's the kind of writer and thinker that makes it safe to chat about just about anything. And about Everything.

It's interesting to read someone who is both a relaxed writer, full of conversational quips, and also of strong mind. He's going to poke, prod, joke, think, push but never let go. We need such strong thinkers and we need them to be available to us in exactly this sort of book.

First of all, how cute is this cover? I probably wouldn't have picked this one out were it not for the cover. I'm really torn over my review for this one. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a memoir, but more as a collection of the authors thoughts and feelings about his faith - or lack thereof. He brings up doubt as a potentially taboo topic in the church and asks some hard questions about the relationship of science to religion and describes his struggles in finding a way to trust God while keeping his intellectual integrity.

As far as the writing is concerned, the book is flawless. I love the author's voice and I've laughed out loud several times. He has great, funny stories and his style is easy to read. I have however, struggled with this one. The author did not have a positive experience with the church, the Southern Baptist church in particular, growing up. I find him hard to relate to in this area because I grew up in the Southern Baptist church as well, but had only positive experiences. Because I feel like "conservative", "evangelical" and "right-wing" have all become derogatory labels (and I consider all them applicable descriptions of myself), I found myself feeling very defensive as I read the book. However, I think that makes it all the more important for me to hear the author's point of view and determine what truly bothers me: the author's theology or his analysis of my heritage. Be forewarned, I am about to write a book-length post on my theological differences with this book. I recommend it because the writing is fantastic, and the book itself is funny and challenging, but before I can recommend it, I have to give my disclaimer that there are a lot of theological assumptions that I strongly disagree with.

I think I've determined that my only major issue with the book is the over-simplification of Scripture and of conservative Christianity. For example, in one chapter the author describes his problems reading the book of Job, specifically the part where God gives Satan permission to test Job. The author believes that this shows that God is in charge of Satan, therefore, Satan must be on God's side, therefore the Bible contradicts itself. In his analysis it can't be both ways. But just because my boss at work tells me what to do and I obey doesn't mean we are always on the same side. It's an issue of authority.

The entire issue of faith itself is treated the same way. In the author's opinion, a person's response to doubt is to either hide your head in the sand or become an atheist/agnostic. I've struggled with doubts about my salvation, much like the author has. But I think that faith is a choice, not a feeling. So I can feel like I'm not saved/God doesn't exist/God isn't loving/etc and choose with my mind to believe anyway. I really want to mail the author a copy of Faith Is Not A Feeling by Ney Bailey. That book revolutionized the way I think about faith and how it isn't an emotional response, it's a choice that you make. You can always choose to believe despite what your emotions are saying - like the father in Mark 9:24 who tells Jesus "I do believe; help my unbelief". It's something I've prayed over and over - and I don't think it's ignoring the issue or putting my head in the sand.

Finally, I feel like I have to point out that I completely disagree with the author's opinion that people overstate coincidence in the name of God. He mentions people who feel like God speaks to them every day in a tone of disbelief, but I know those people. He mentions worship songs that are so trite that God wouldn't want to claim them - I can't get on board with that. He talks about how feeling God's presence is an emotional response to music in worship many times - so what if it is? If a group of people are in the room loving Jesus and praising him, even if the lyrics are stupid and the worship leader is "traditional", does that really change the fact that I'm worshipping? I say no.

So anyway, go read the book and when you have, tell me what you think. I'd love to hear other people's opinions of the theological questions raised as well as the author's style and sense of humor. Even if I don't agree with some of the author's ideas, I think this is a great book to use in starting a discussion on topics that are very relevant for the church today and that must be addressed by all of us conservative, evangelical, right-wingers if we want to be taken seriously on an intellectual and cultural level.

”O Me of Little Faith” was a wonderful read, and touched a cord, that many followers can relate of having doubt at some point of their lives.

Light-hearted, filled with relevant scripture and encouraging, ”O Me of Little Faith” reminds us all of the human side of following our Heavenly Father.

What I enjoyed most, other than the cute cover, was the reminder, of how, many of us, at some point and time of our lives, have those moments of doubt and how it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but often the moment, we often need, to motivate us toward re-examining and having a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father.

”O Me of Little Faith” is worth taking the time to visit the author’s website and discovering more about the writer behind, “O Me of Little Faith“ .

When asked about what influenced him to write, “O Me of Little Faith“, Jason shared the following in an interview that was shared:

Where did you get the idea for the book?
I was tasked with giving a sermon at my church a few years ago (occasionally I fill in for our pastor), and the best place to start when preparing a sermon is the question: What is God teaching me right now? And I discovered that I didn’t have an answer to that question. God wasn’t really teaching me anything. In fact, God seemed pretty absent from my life altogether. So for that sermon, I ended up speaking very transparently about doubt, and how there were times I struggled to believe in God. Based on the comments afterward, I found that a lot of people struggled with the same thing — only none of us ever felt like doubt was something we could safely address in church. We all hid our doubts behind a mask of faith and pretended we had it all together. So I thought it would be worthwhile to open up about my doubts and explain how I’m learning to deal with them — if only to let other doubters know they’re not alone. I wanted it to be an encouraging book, because the valley of doubt is a lonely place to be.
What intrigued me was what Jason had to say when asked, “What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

His reply was:

That it’s not the end of the world to experience doubt as a Christian — even the really scary “does God even exist?” kind of doubt. That your faith can not only withstand doubt, but can even be strengthened by it. And that, as a doubter, you are not alone.


”O Me of Little Faith” does just that and reminds us, the follower, that we’re not alone. Even Thomas doubted. Moses hesitated, but what matters is we don’t move back, but keep moving forward, toward our Heavenly Father.

Loved the unflinching honesty with which Jason shared his lifelong doubts, the utter logic of many of the questions he asks, and the permission, even encouragement, he gives people to not just allow their doubt but even to embrace it. Only a couple things bugged me: His main advice to doubters seemed to be "act [in faith] anyway." Well, that may help some people, but when you're doubting the whole thing, and those doubts are strong enough, being told to take steps of/toward faith anyway, is like...Um, seriously?!? Also, he did the "You're probably thinking" device in response to some idea or other...a little too often for my taste.

But I could relate hugely to so much of what Jason said, and overall, it's a great read that I really enjoyed. Despite the things that bugged me, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone experiencing doubts about Christianity.

P.S. I tweeted quotes that resonated with me, which you can read here: http://storify.com/connwin/quotes-fro....

Jason Boyett is a doubter. But he doesn't just share that in this book. He REVELS in it. It became off-putting early on.

There is some good content here and I'm glad I stuck with it, but overall I'm a bit disappointed.

Jason Boyett, an established blogger and author of several books (most notably the historical and snarky Pocket Guide series), isn’t new to the writing world by any means. But there’s always room for firsts, and O Me of Little Faith, his first memoir, turns from the history of saints and the Bible to the history of himself, and goes straight to the heart of his own spiritual doubt as he does it.

If it sounds like a heavy topic for a first memoir, you’re right. The Introduction gets the apologies and warnings out of the way: “if you are rock-steady in your faith and have no interest in reading a book about doubt, then by all means, put this one down... Firm faith is a gift. I’m happy for you -- I wish I could be you.” (p. 13) And it’s a good thing too, because by the end of the first chapter, he voices the toughest question of all, “Does God even exist?”

This is a hard book to read. It’s raw and asks the questions that many Christians fear to address (out loud anyway), forces you to examine your beliefs, wrestle a bit. As I read it, I saw some of myself in the words, and I suspect many who are willing to pick up a book on doubt in the first place will see themselves as well. From the annoying quirks of evangelical culture that trigger cynicism to the bigger questions of science and history, he lays out his fears and doubts and hang-ups, exposes them to the light, and -- and this is potentially the most frustrating part -- doesn’t find easy answers.

But don’t think it’s all doom and gloom and that you’re going to turn into an atheist if you read this. Not at all. Sure, much is left unresolved, but all these questions give way to a more hopeful one: “Is faith simply what remains when God is absent?” (p. 100)

Jason recounts the things that keep him going God feels distant and all of Christianity looks like a joke, such as finding hope in the revolutionary person of Jesus and security in the tradition of liturgical prayers. The difference is choosing belief in the face of questions: “I try to keep pedaling, even when I’m doubting. I keep living as a committed Christian, even when I don’t feel like one.” (p. 190) This is as close as O Me of Little Faith comes to an answer to the problem of doubt, but it’s a spark of hope against the odds.

Of course, along with the tough candor, there’s plenty of Jason’s signature humor too. This is definitely a darker, more serious approach than his other books, but take heart -- there are always turtles, French Daredevils, and awesome quirky footnotes to brighten the mood. There’s also the best description of Soren Kierkegaard ever: “If he were still kicking around today, he would have black-painted fingernails, deliberately unkempt hair, and a heavy rotation of The Smiths on his iPod.” (p. 171) (See? Philosophy can be fun.)

The warning holds true: this is not a book for the strong of faith yet faint of heart. This is not a book for those who don’t want their convictions rattled a little. I would still suggest you read it anyway, with an open heart, if only to better understand the darkness many fellow believers walk through. It’s not a pretty place, but it’s a very real one.

To those who find the road of faith full of twists and potholes, Jason is a friendly traveling companion. He speaks to the tension of hope and cynicism with compassion, honesty, kindness, and grace. O Me of Little Faith is both tough and refreshing, and a very rewarding read wherever you are on the journey.

There are so many great things about this book – I really can’t encourage you hard enough to read it. Here’re my top 5 reasons why you should order it TODAY:

1) It’s honest. Brutally honest. It’s essentially a book filled with his confessions – how much he doubts and how imperfect he is. We could all learn a lesson or two from his act of honesty.

2) More likely than not, you have struggled at some point in time with the same questions he struggles with. It’s the perfect book to help you feel like you’re not alone in your doubting. If you haven’t, you’re not being honest with yourself – so you should go back to reason number 1 to read it.

3) This is a story of someone who grew up in the Southern Baptist tradition and learned along the way the value of learning from other denominations. No one denomination is 100% right. Jason pulls from rich liturgical traditions to help him when the simple answer of “Jesus saves” isn’t enough to hold him up. At the same time, he embraces the power that exists behind charismatic traditions. I love the way he pulls things from various denominational traditions to help him discover what he believes. If you think you are 100% right in all you do and your denomination or traditions are better than others, revert back to number 1 for why you should read this book.

4) If you’re in full-time paid ministry, there are many people that you encounter that struggle with the same kinds of questions Jason struggles with. Whether you can identify with what he’s saying or not, you should know how to relate to people who are where he is. And if you think you can’t identify with what he’s saying, then I point you back to number 1 for why you should read it.

5) He’s incredibly intelligent. Jason will probably tell you that he’s not that smart – but I would disagree. This book is a brilliant portrayal of how intellectual giants wrestle with doubt and yet still have faith. His most brilliant point: faith & doubt are not mutually exclusive. In fact, faith & doubt work hand in hand with one another. If we don’t doubt, then there’s no need for faith. When we intellectually can’t understand something, that’s when faith steps in. If you think you understand everything – well, then – I guess you’re just stuck with reason number 1 to read this book.

I felt that many of Boyott's qualms with God were less about God and more about extreme fundamentalist Christianity. This book was supposed to be about dealing with doubts with teachings of Christianity, but I felt this book was more about the reasons not to believe than reasons to believe. If I wanted to read about reasons not to believe in Christianity, I would have bought "The God Delusion by Dawkins".

While Boyott makes some decent points, although it can be uncomfortable to face the doubts Jason talks about head on, I think it is healthy and good to do so. But Jason did often rambles on in a way that could me confusing for some readers. I, however, enjoyed this way writing. It was a perfect combination of rambling and organized thought that it made it seem more like Jason was speaking to you rather then preaching or lecturing at you.

Recommend??
I was hoping he would discuss his doubts but also the rebuttals to those doubts. For the most part I felt that this book. But because this book was mostly about why maybe one should not believe but have doubts in the bible and the Christian faith. I have difficulty recommending this book to anyone. This book is, believe it or not, funny (Jason is, at this heart, a comedian. But it is also a hard read. Read only if you are willing to deal with the difficult questions asked here.

Other books I would Recommend for dealing with Doubt:

Evolving in Monkey Town: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask the Questions By: Rachel Evans
The Case for Faith By Lee Strobel
The Case for Christ By Lee Strobel

O Me of Little Faith by Jason Boyett


Isn't the Cover of this book just the greatest!! I will admit that the cover is what drew me to this book but once I Started reading it I was intrigued.


The author raised some questions that me as a Christian for over 30 plus years was a bit uncomfortable with but if I was really honest with myself I have thought in the deep recesses of my mind before.


Questions reguarding : Science and do we have to disreguard it, Why are most Christians more interested in the Social aspect of church than in the living out of the principles of Christ, If some are really capable of miracle healings why aren't they doing so in hospitals and at hospice? Just to name a few.


Boyett relates all of this with an insight and humor that makes us fell like it is ok to have these questions.


I am glad that someone else has voiced these questions and that I am not alone in my wondering.


Through it all though the author maintains his belief in God, and Jesus and I think that is the main point of the book, That you can have questions but still have belief.


I received a copy of the book in exchange for a honest opinion from the publisher.

MY REVIEW:
I really like the concept of this book...the idea of probing into our doubt...our "little faith".

However, this book was one of the hardest books to read. In fact, in honesty, I did not finish it. I skimmed through the remainder but I just could not follow the book. I have always thought of myself as someone weak in the area of faith - and still do - so I was looking forward to reading this book. I think my main lack of enjoyment in this book is because it is more a detailed spiritual biography than a help for those who struggle. Let's face it, we all need to be stronger in our faith so why do I want to read the confession of someone else?

My biggest concern for someone reading this is that if you have time to read this, you have time to read other books that will help you grow in your faith.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

O Me of Little Faith is a brutally honest, frequently hilarious look at the struggles of a self-confessed spiritual weakling. Jason Boyett invites you to ask the hard questions and remain hopeful as he examines how you doubt, why you doubt, and what (if anything) should be done about it.

Definitely grateful for this one. I knew I would relate to the doubt. And I was glad to see the familiar decision to press on anyway. (Jason says it this way: "For me, at least, discarding faith would be like discarding both my legs at the hip. I've been standing on them for as long as I can remember. Faith is part of who I am. It would be deeply wounding to lose it.") I related to this equally as much as I related to his doubt. The wonderful surprise in the book - and this is a bit of a spoiler - was the realization that the doubt and the questions are actually preferable to the alternatives, i.e., deciding there is nothing to seek and giving up on faith altogether, or having "too much of God" (a God who doesn't hide) in which case faith would be completely unnecessary. That was so well-put, and it rang very true. I have learned to love the questions but hadn't realized how important the dissonance is between my doubt and my faith. Suddenly, I love my doubt. And I appreciate the struggle. It's all a part of my faith, the substance of everything I hope.

Jason Boyett's autobiographical confession owes much to the style of blog-style writers such as Donald Miller, but Boyett establishes a clear voice and sense of purpose quickly and consistently. His goal is to let others know that doubt is not only acceptable, but arguably beneficial to Christians. Boyett's prose has a lightness to it, as well as a self-awareness (and self-deprecating nature) that allows him to really be vulnerable and connect with the reader. He references some of the typical authorities acknowledged by his peers (ie. Manning, Nouwen, et al) without simply name-dropping, and he delivers a number of interesting thoughts and arguments in what becomes a surprisingly thorough examination of the role of doubt in faith. His account is not heavily theological, soteriological, or ecclesiastical, but it relational, informed, and engaging for anyone who has had to work through how doubt enhances their faith.

Footnotes, so, SO many footnotes. Like a teenager trying to waste space in a term-paper or someone discovering footnotes and thinking it'll make them sound smart and look profound, this author flogs footnotes to death. And apparently on purpose so as not to disrupt the flow of the reading, as the author states on his website. I found them annoying because of the massive blob of tiny text at the bottom of the page, not just a reference or citation. I'm worried about missing out on something good and felt discombobulated by having to switch back and forth when most of the footnotes could have been incorporated into the text. I'm sure the content of the book is fine, but I was too distracted by the annoying footnotes. Did I mention that I find footnotes pretentious and superfluous and annoying?

I used a hi-liter 3 times:
1. ...the more I learn about a subject, the more shades of gray come into view.
2. There are few things that turn me off more than people who speak with absolute certitude about complex issues...
3. Don't pretend to be better than you are. Don't pretend to be smarter than you are. Don't pretend to be more spiritual than you are. Don't pretend to have it together when you don't. Don't pretend to have all the answers when you don't. Don't pretend to worship when you don't feel like it. Don't pretend.

Mostly a two-star read, his humor reads like the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme of Steve Buscemi. Also was annoyed that his numerous references to scripture did not include the Biblical text; it interrupted the flow of reading and means if you don't have a Bible on hand, you're S.O.L. for getting that reference. For me, the last two chapters saved the book and actually gave me something worthwhile to think about, mostly the importance of action and clinging on to what few certainties you have in the ocean of uncertainties you navigate.

I LOVED this book. The author is honest about doubt...which is something that isn't discussed much. I never realized how much I doubted my own salvation until I read this...a real eye opener, and a freeing one at that.

I also loved his idea about praying with liturgy. Wonderful prayers to offer up to Christ throughout the day... meaningful words that you don't have to think of yourself.

He references several other books in here that I also plan to check out.

I read this book for obvious reasons - sometimes I have doubt. It was comforting to read about a person who has even more doubts than me. And it was good to hear that my way of coping is much the same as the author's. This book didn't revolutionize my thought processes and it didn't really give me an tools to deal with doubt, but it was helpful to me to hear someone else wonder about some of the same things I do. And he kept the tone very light and fun, not taking himself too seriously.

More like 3.5 stars. For years I've clung to a statement Philip Yancey made in one of his books about how faith and doubt must coexist. Boyett's questions and struggles with faith and doubt are similar to my own and so I found this book very appealing. He asks difficult questions - questions I've asked myself and still have no answers - but still maintains his faith despite the doubts.

Witty, honest, real. A book about a life of faith that I can get behind. The author doesn't pretend or try to hide behind the mask of "mature Christian". He just lays it out there for examination by himself and his readers. I appreciated this book for its honesty, for calling the Church out in necessary ways, and for concluding that doubt and weak faith may make for a true spiritual giant.

Although a few of the things that Jason wrote did resonate with me, I felt that in the end I'm once again patted on the head and advised to keep on keeping on. I didn't find a lot of help in this book, but since it is billed as "true confessions of a spiritual weakling" I should not have expected much.

This book had a really big impact on me when I first read it in 2013. It didn't have the same impact on me in 2015 because I was at a different point by then my ongoing faith journey. But when I first read it, it gave me permission to doubt. It helped me be less afraid of where the journey might take me.

I really wanted to like this better than I did. I'm a sucker for memoirs and love people talking about faith and I like's Jason's podcast. For someone else, this might be the perfect book that hits them right where they are, but for me, I just kind of lost interest.

Bought in Lawrence, KS. Another reason I wanted to love it.

I enjoyed listening to this very well done, and entertaining discussion of the Christian authors struggle with doubts about God. He delves into his ideas, as well as exploring philosophy, traditional religious teachings, authors, and pop culture. It's good to hear others talk about questions that have nagged me since childhood.

This book was written by my good friend's nephew. It was really, really great. It was a quick read and I can really relate to his sense of humor and thought proceses. I would recommend that everyone read it!

I recommend this book for Christian's struggling doubt. It may give them a fresh perspective as it did for me. It is good to note, however, that although the reader and author doubt alike, the reader should not compare his or her faith with that of the author.
