Stumbling Toward God: A Prodigal's Return

STUMBLING TOWARD GOD traces a woman's spiritual search with an unusual twist - from an "atheist who prays" to unorthodox membership in two contrasting churches: Unitarian and Episcopal. In the second edition of her forthright memoir, McGee shares new adventures on her spiritual quest, culminating in personal encounters with a God of love. An honest, satisfying read for anyone questioning or seeking a spiritual path. Includes Reading Group Guide. "An offbeat, engagingly written, appealingly uncertain spiritual memoir." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (May) (c) 2002 Cahners Business Information. "With a mystic's heart and a scientist's precision, Margaret McGee traces the path of her journey away from religion, back again, and onward to a pilgrimage of transformation by love. This book rewards those willing to venture past comfortable boundaries into unexplored terrain. -Rev. Dr. Marlene Kropf, Professor Emerita of Spiritual Formation and Worship, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana ""This book is the real stuff. Read it carefully-carefully because the fine writing will repay your attention, and carefully because it's the kind of quietly dangerous material that just might change you."" -Bill McKibben, author of THE END OF NATURE "Honest, elegant, and smart-this book is essential reading for anyone grappling with life's big questions, inside and outside what we call church." -Christine Hemp, author of WILD RIDE HOME: LOVE, LOSS, AND A LITTLE WHITE HORSE - A FAMILY MEMOIR and THAT FALL (poems) ""STUMBLING TOWARD GOD chronicles the journey of a thinking person's inexplicable pull toward the mystery of Faith. But mostly, this is a story about love. Love of creation, of human fellowship, and the deep abiding love of God which resides at the core of all that is."" -Sarah Stockton, spiritual director, poet, and author of A PEN AND A PATH: WRITING AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE (Church Publishing 2005)
