About this audiobook
What if you found a version of faith in God that did not ask you to deny scientific truths or to blindly accept as true what you consider frankly impossible?
Sue Sorensen has walked the path of a seeker of faith, through the dark alleys of addiction and recovery, and has wrestled with the troubling questions that arise from a religion vs. science viewpoint. Sorensen has taken on what many people face but choose to ignore — mostly because they have no way to deal with the contradictions and so just live with them. Sorensen has had a successful career in business as a learning and development professional and has presented numerous business courses on a wide variety of topics, including emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
Cognitive Faith provides an approach to faith for those who:
- Have discarded any version of faith in God or found a religion to lack credibility
- Are realists, nerds, or hopeless skeptics who nevertheless like to read intellectually challenging propositions
- Have explored self-help and made progress but are looking to accelerate their personal growth and development
- Are troubled and need some help with finding the strength to change
Courageously written, Cognitive Faith challenges and disputes some of the central premises of religious faith, including most religious lore, and religious morality and behavioral dictates. With pointed rebukes for the regrettably common inclination toward irrational thinking, in our personal lives, in our spiritual lives, and in current political and social systems, this audiobook nevertheless blazes a path for a modern-day rational, cognitive version of empowering faith.
From brontosaurs to bosons, from afterlife to daily life, from miracles to meanness, and from Pascal’s Wager to present-day politics. If belief in God is to remain relevant in today’s world, a new version of faith is required.
Get your copy today to discover how we can still believe in God — with our minds engaged and our eyes open.
