Read for the IMS Book Club and enjoyed the read, along with the live sessions with the author. I've known Sharon as a teacher for a number of years, but this is most definitely her most personal book. I probably didn't read it before because I bristled at the title ... something she addresses right in the introduction. What "faith" really is and what it isn't ... and then sets out to reclaim it's original, true meaning in all its permutations and messiness. This is a deeply personal, lovely and practical book, and while I totally agree that the word "faith" needs to be reclaimed for what it really means, in the meantime I'm still more comfortable with the Pali word for faith "saddha" which (I learned in this book) literally means "to rest the heart upon". I blame a sort of PTSD from my Christian upbringing for my continued reluctance to embrace the word .... maybe a little further along the path I'll be able to let that go ....
