A memoir of faith struggle and abidingIn this sequel to her popular memoir Girl Meets God, Lauren Winner explores the theme of abiding in God, especially when, after her divorce and feelings of failure, believing is not as easy as it had once been. In the American Church, we have a long tradition of telling spiritual stories that culminate in conversion, in the narrator s joining the church, getting dunked in the waters of baptism, getting saved. Here s a better question than why did you become a Christian. Why are you a Christian this morning? Why are you a Christian this week? After a failed marriage and bored with God talk and Bible reading, the author discovers all the ways she is maintained, held, and even healed by God s people, God s church, and spiritual surprises. Winner discovers that much of Christian literature is, essentially, the case for choosing the Christian life. But she found few sources for what she needed: a spirituality of maintenance. And that is what she set out to do.

Review:
"Anyone committed to truly examining the shape of personal faith, unfolding over the years in a broken world, should sense a fruitful opportunity, if not a solemn obligation, to expound at length...[Winner] probes these depths as deftly and eloquently as anyone writing today... An instant spiritual classic."--Christianity Today

"Titles to pick up now... "Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis" insights on spiritual uncertainty from a devout Christian convert."--O, the Oprah Magazine

"Elegantly written . . . eminently readable."--Booklist

"The book is made to pour over again and again. You'll fill the pages with underlines, the margins with notes. Each short chapter is loaded with insights that don't so much build on one another as weave a rich tapestry of possibilities in the midst of a spiritual desert."--Relevant Magazine

"Winner writes thoughtfully and eloquently about finding herself in the middle and accepting her place there."--Shelf Awareness

"[A] provocative memoir . . . an open, honest contemplation of a spiritual impasse."--Kirkus Reviews

""Still" grasps for faith in a Middle space and discovers a stranger, bigger and more faithful God than we expected."--Relevant Magazine

"In an age when it is much easier to make fun of the church than to love it ... Winner has made the church a main character so honestly drawn that we recognize it ... treasure it and laugh in amazement that God can work with it. Still."--Christian Century

"Lauren Winner's brave, spare, and subtle book is a great gift to the church. She lifts up doubt and absence with enough honesty to reveal the unfinished edges, and the radiance, of faith itself."--Sara Miles, author of Take This Bread and Jesus Freak

"Not for the faint-hearted, Winner's book not only undresses and confronts doubt, but imparts new courage to trust God through it."--Worship Leader Magazine
