OMAHA, Neb. - Marge deGraw's "Musings of a Maverick Minister" (published by Xlibris) offers her take on faith, as she shows readers the presence and love of God while, at the same time, giving them permission to question religion and what she identifies as the church's man-made rules, cultivating contemplative thinking that will allow them to navigate their own paths in life and in spirituality.
"It's OK to question your faith. It's OK to find answers that don't fit with others' beliefs. Move away from being told what to believe to thinking and believing for yourself," deGraw says. With her book she gives questions and answers about religion and spirituality, as well as metaphysics. She allows her readers to immerse themselves in contemplations of faith, various profound life-experiences as well as reflections on the intersections of science and spirituality. She delves into the subject of reincarnation, critiques on male hierarchy and the concerns of disenchanted Christians who need to explore divine mysteries and, in the process, undertake self-discoveries.
"You may be shocked or relieved to know that you are not alone in questioning and finding answers that resonate with you," deGraw adds. "Spirituality is better than religion. The love of God is better than the control of the hierarchy. The churches' man-made rules are not about faith."
