How we respond to those who are deconstructing will reveal the kind of church—and the kinds of Christians—we really are.\r\\n\r\\nIan Harber knows the fear and grief of deconstruction firsthand. In \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWalking Through Deconstruction\u003c\/span\u003e, he tells the story of his own process of deconstruction and reconstruction over more than ten years and explores what is actually happening, both culturally and spiritually, when someone deconstructs their faith.\r\\n\r\\nDeconstruction doesn't happen in a vacuum; it is catalyzed by a comfortable society, cultural Christianity, compromised churches, and the compounding anxieties of life. But the Christian faith has better to offer. Harber lays out a vision for the kind of faith environment that can foster genuine reconstruction through healthy relationships, robust doctrine, healthy institutions, a better theology of suffering, and the peace of God.\r\\n\r\\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWalking Through Deconstruction\u003c\/span\u003e\r\\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003etells the author's real life story of deconstruction and reconstruction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eprovides a clear definition of deconstruction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eacknowledges the urgency of deconstruction while prioritizing patience and trust over fear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003edescribes common contributing factors and phases of deconstruction, and\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003ecasts a vision for healthy communities that help people hold onto faith.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\\nWe desperately need healthy models of ministry to those who are deconstructing.
