About this book
Find your way to the water. A soulful path for those who have outgrown dogma.
You are parched in a spiritual desert where rigid dogma and reactionary politics no longer sustain you. Perhaps you feel caught between a faith that fails your intellect and the fear of losing your community. If you are thirsting for something deeper, you aren't alone. Water in the Desert provides a refreshing oasis.
Drawing on years of ministry at Stanford and USC, author Jim Burklo offers a roadmap for an expression of Christianity that stands up to the tests of both your heart and your mind. Burklo invites you into otherdoxy, a path where the Bible is sacred myth and faith is defined by an inner communion with the Christ of compassion. Through this Water in the Desert, discover a Way that embraces scientific discovery and radical inclusion. Don't toss out the message of Jesus with the dirty bathwater of modern religious politics. Strengthen your faith and find the spiritual clarity you have been seeking. It is time to find the water.

• Strengthening Faith Without Rigid Dogma
• Practical Tools for Spiritual Practiceectly in the everyday world.
