I Don't Know What to Believe

About this book

Americans—especially young people—are more un-churched and less affiliated with organized religion than at any other time in our history. I Don't Know What to Believe addresses that decline and presents an insightful examination of authentic spirituality for those who desire answers, guidance, and perspective regarding an important aspect of their lives: their beliefs, and relationship to, a higher power.

Rabbi Ben Kamin addresses questions he has received from real people over the thirty years of his ministry, such as: Why does my parents' religion have to define me? Am I God's child even if I don't go to religious services? Does scripture include me in its ideology regardless of how much scripture I know? How do I follow my own spirituality while still respecting my parents' traditions?

Ben Kamin is the award-winning author of ten books and is a scholar on the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He has led congregations in Toronto, New York, Cleveland, and San Diego since his ordination in 1978.
