In this beautifully written book, Tiffany Yecke Brooks helps readers find their way forward after faith deconstruction. She likens the process to Dante’s ascent from the underworld: when he emerges from the depths, he steps out into an expansive space where he can “rebehold the stars.” Encountering God anew is at the heart of Brooks’s approach to faith formation after deconstruction. She teaches readers how to enliven their religious vocabulary, cultivate fresh spiritual practices, recognize holiness in unexpected places, find new faith communities, and more.
Fans of Brooks’s earlier examinations of faith—Gaslighted by God and Holy Ghosted—will welcome this newest addition to her writing on the topic. Designed for both individual and group study, To Rebehold the Stars guides readers through a wide variety of exercises, practices, and disciplines to help illuminate this essential stage of the journey out of deconstruction and into a more vibrant, authentic life of faith. The book is enriched by Brooks’s passion for writing and literature, as evidenced in her lively discussions of language and apt use of literary examples. For readers yearning for creative approaches to faith reconstruction, To Rebehold the Stars points the way toward new and deeply meaningful encounters with God.
