How do you believe in God when so many people call it a myth, or a fairy tale? It's a fair question, and Steve Head has asked it, too. Raised in a strict, legalistic church that couldn't answer his questions, he walked away for decades, into addiction and years in the dark. When he found his way back to God, the questions came with him. Blind Faith is what he found. Drawing on brain science, hospice research, recovery ministry, the work of historians, including skeptics, and the Bible itself, he follows the evidence to its edge and asks what might be standing there. Inside, you'll find: What our senses miss, and what a gorilla in plain view can teach us about seeingWhat people in a Joplin, Missouri recovery room have watched change in a human faceWhat hospice doctors have recorded about the dyingWhat children said they saw during the 2011 Joplin tornadoThe hardest passages in Scripture, faced without excusesWhether the Bible can be trusted, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the archaeologist's spadeTime, eternity, giants, and the questions people whisper aboutThe historical case for the resurrection, and why even skeptical scholars grant much of itThe women in Jesus' family tree, and what their stories say to anyone who has been hurtWhy people walk away from church, and an honest look at hypocrites, scandals, and TV preachersWhy there are so many churches, and how a pastor answered the question over lunchCulture, the devil, and the lies people believe about God
