Curious Faith

January 11, 2016
In this memoir and uplifting manual for recovery, Wolfram poignantly shares the pain and sorrow she endured after several miscarriages. Those feelings led her to develop an unrelenting curiosity toward the difficult aspects of faith. Wolfram explains how she and her husband left their longtime church, only to be misunderstood as they tried to find a new community. Drawing on lessons from her past, Wolfram grounds her reactions to the unexpected events of adult life with examples of less ominous (though still trying) situations—a foolish tattoo, the frustration of international travel, the dislocation of moving away from home for the first time—that taught her to be patience and trust in faith early in life. Wolfram offers a “Dig a Little Deeper” section at the close of every chapter that will help followers of Christ engage their struggle with purpose and intent. Readers will appreciate the gentle observations and astute scriptural references she provides during her careful discussions of the pitfalls she’s encountered, providing lessons for how to accept God even in our most trying moments.
