    About this audiobook

    Is it possible to hold on to faith in an age of unbelief?

    Intellectual certainty has long been a cornerstone of the Christian faith. But in an age of secularism, skepticism, and cynicism, our worldviews have been shaken. Various solutions exist-some double down on certainty, while others deconstruct their faith until there is nothing left at all. But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: what is needed is not a demolition but instead a renovation of faith.

    Written with personal and pastoral experience, Zahnd extends an invitation to move beyond the crisis of faith toward the journey of reconstruction. As the world rapidly changes in ways that feel incompatible with Christianity, When Everything's on Fire provides much-needed hope. A stronger, more confident faith is possible when it is grounded in the beauty and truth of Christ. Zahnd permits us to risk the journey of deconstruction so that God can forge something more beautiful in its place.

      This is the best "Good News" you've ever heard. Brian Zahnd does a masterful job telling the Gospel story through life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
    • 4/5
      Eloquent and appropriate discussion about the need for deconstruction and reconstruction of many people’s faith. A heady read, but one without being stuffy.

      Well worth your time.
    • 5/5
      Such an awesome read! I was so thankful for the “I dream of a church…” at the end of the book. I join Brian in those same dreams. We are the church, may it be so with all of us readers.
