Reddit mentions of Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science

> I was raised to believe that the Bible is inerrant and aside from parables and metaphors, to take it all literally.

There's absolutely life and faith possible outside of the fragile notion of Biblical inerrancy. If you like to read, I'd recommend the book Finding God in the Waves by Mike McHargue. I found it to be a wonderful account of no longer running from your doubts and finding God without needing to deceive yourself.

Check out "Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science," by Mike McHargue. It might be just what you are looking for :)

> You never seem to see people who start believing in God while still dealing with the criticisms atheists often have of religion

Though i don't agree with many things in the book, I guess you could consider this guy

I'm in your boat. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with believing in Heaven if it frees you of the anxiety and helps you live life to the fullest now.

If you're interested in something spiritual but not necessarily theistic to help find meaning in your life, I highly recommend Finding God in the Waves by Mike McHargue. Although the description may give you the misconception that it's one of those "Christianity is supported by science!!" books, it's really not. It advocates nontheistic mysticism, and McHargue ("Science Mike") just happens to use a Christian framework for said mysticism.
