{"product_id":"faith-beyond-mere-belief-9781477497760","title":"Faith Beyond Mere Belief","description":"Faith Beyond Mere Belief is the culmination of thirty years of theological study. In it, the author presents a thought provoking approach to faith that is particularly appealing to those who are not inspired by either evangelical eagerness or orthodox doctrinal creeds. While the book draws upon the work of many of the twentieth century's most noted theologians, the author presents concepts in an unpretentious style that avoids the obscure language that often puts such material beyond the interest of a non-academic audience. Personal examples enrich and clarify the text. The author insightfully intertwines scripture throughout the book to illustrate and interpret concepts within a historical Christian framework. Faith Beyond Mere Belief provides an approach to faith that is challenging, going beyond the acceptance of a set of religious beliefs to develop a basis for faith that fully integrates body, mind and spirit for service to God and humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Gould Ph.

He has also served in management positions in corporate America and as a junior officer in the United States Air Force. He has consulted with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations in North America and Western Europe. Dr. Gould has published numerous conference proceedings and articles in leading academic journals. His interest in theology began over thirty years ago and he has kept an avid interest in it ever since. During his faith journey, he has been engaged in both evangelical and orthodox Christian churches. Finding them less than fully satisfying and drawing upon his academic background, Dr. Gould has struck out to integrate his theological grounding with his training in the behavioral sciences and personal experience. The result is Faith Beyond Mere Belief, his first book in theology. In retirement, Dr. Gould remains active serving on community boards and with writing. He lives in the mountains of Colorado with Elaine, his wife of 49 years. Together they raised three sons, and now enjoy witnessing life unfolding for their eight grandchildren.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45146204045427,"sku":"9781477497760","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_7c3df0f5-df88-401d-aa88-45ee338ea68c.jpg?v=1782926566","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/faith-beyond-mere-belief-9781477497760","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
