But technology, fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, or church leaders can smother our curiosity. Writer Lore Ferguson Wilbert has belonged to Christian communities that discouraged curiosity. But Wilbert has moved toward a more contemplative, expansive faith, and invites readers to foster a habit of curiosity. A Curious Faith: The Ques-tions God Asks, We Ask, and We Wish Someone Would Ask Us (Brazos Press) explores questions God asks us, questions we ask God, and questions we ask each other. Christianity isnt about knowing good answers but about asking good questions that foster deeper intimacy with God and others. This book invites us to go beyond pat answers and embrace curiosity as a hallmark of authentic faith.SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2022 WWW.CITYGATENETWORK.ORG 49'
