Synopsis

"I don’t feel quite as lost as I did before I picked it up."—Book reviewer, Carole-Heidi.

I’m not sure about God. Not the one I learned about in Sunday School anyway.

You see, those opening lines up there, that’s basically what had been rumbling round my head for the last couple of months. I’ve been reading the Bible and it has been doing exactly zero to help my doubts and confusion but I have been struggling to put my thoughts and feelings into coherent sentences. Then one evening I picked up I’m Not Sure About God and read it from cover to cover and managed to piece together some of the things I’d been feeling and also found reassurance and comfort between the pages too. I’m Not Sure About God starts out as a brief memoir and then the second half is a collection of sermons Armitage wrote during his time as a Methodist Lay Speaker. The sermons are thoughtful, gentle and not at all preachy – all just as easy to read as the memoir section was. Reading about how Armitage still loves attending his church, has solid faith and yet also has his doubts about God and a grounded, realistic, approach to Jesus and his teachings helped me to realise that how I’m feeling is okay. I don’t feel quite as lost as I did before I picked it up.

A quick, thoughtful read that made me laugh and made me think – I am greatly looking forward to his next book.
