Navigating Mormon Faith Crisis

A Simple Developmental Map

By: Thomas Wirthlin McConkie

Narrated by: Thomas Wirthlin McConkie

What if we understood faith crisis as part of a natural cycle of spiritual growth, a breaking open to make room for new life and new faith? In the new book Navigating Mormon Faith Crisis, Thomas McConkie draws on the study of adult development to provide a map for people who find themselves in faith crisis, fearing they might have taken a wrong turn in their spiritual progression. This developmental perspective helps listeners understand that they haven't necessarily drifted off course; they might have simply run up against the edge of their current map. Understanding how humans—and faith—grow and mature over time can offer tremendous stability and confidence to those who would press forward in the discovery of their own changing identity.

This new framework enables the LDS community, and indeed any faith community facing similar struggles, to view faith crisis not as a symptom of apostasy, but of a deeper and fuller redemption. The listener finds that crisis may represent the awakening of a new kind of faith, one beyond mere belief, that may very well represent a new dawn in the unfolding of the world's religious traditions.

Very helpful

I was able to find myself in each of the stages of development with exception to strategist as much of it feels foreign to me, I suppose something to grow into.

An inclusive look at faith crisped

In this book Thomas McConkie metaphorically wraps his arms around every member of the LDS church and says “You matter, we all have much to learn from you.”

Thought Provoking

And excellent place to start when seeking a spiritual journey & examination. Wish I had found it when it was first published.

Great perspective

Very practical, expensive, and thoughtful approach to understanding ourselves and our development. Highly recommend this book to all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints .

Everyone read this book!

This book is very enlightening. It helps me see myself and others with more empathy and understanding and truly wanting the truth each of us has to offer.
