Hate: (n) a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action*

We can all feel hate. There’s frequently a level of frustration that overwhelms us when we are faced with trying to achieve certain goals—like getting in shape, making the grade, or straightening out our finances.

This is where I got stuck in my spirituality. Within the pages of my book are the 10 things I’ve hated about Christianity over the years and how I’ve worked through my frustrations. I call it the intersection of real life, simple faith, and raw emotion. And I am confident it can help in your own spiritual journey.

From the back cover:

Hate: (n) a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action*

My dad never let me use the word hate. He said it sounded too violent. But it was often the only accurate description of how I felt. Part of me understood, but another part of me rebelled.

We can all feel hate. Even in the good, productive, and meaningful aspects of life, there's frequently a level of frustration that overwhelms us when we are faced with trying to achieve certain goals--like getting in shape, making the grade, or straightening out our finances.

This is where I got stuck in my spirituality. Within these pages are the 10 things I've hated about Christianity over the years and how I've worked through my frustrations. I call it the intersection of real life, simple faith, and raw emotion.

And I am confident it can help in your own spiritual journey.

—the writer

 

At first glance, Jason T. Berggren bears little resemblance to the vision most people have of a “Christian writer”.  He is both the deep thinker wrestling with theological truths and the plainspoken regular guy with an aversion to “church speak,” the embodiment of both the tattooed rebel and the father trying in vain to limit his children’s junk food intake.

Berggren’s first book, 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith, conveys his conviction that “positive momentum begins with negative tension” and has attracted national attention. He has been featured in the debut of ABC's show "Beliefs", is a frequent radio guest, and the book continues to receive positive reviews...
