For many Christians, there comes a time when knowledge, experience, or a subtle longing for something more comes into conflict with what their faith has allowed. Unfortunately, the common paradigms of Christianity and the Bible don’t always offer hope when this happens, often leaving people with the perceived choices of straying from the straight and narrow or merely clinging to the status quo, perhaps even out of fear or guilt. After nearly 20 years of living with a faith that provided certainty, David Lundgren was faced with embracing the status quo or listening to the restless heart that told him it was time to question the answers. He listened, never expecting the consuming, challenging, and painful – yet rewarding – experience that was ahead. Part memoir and part academic journey, Brand New Day recounts the powerful transformation of one conservative, evangelical man’s faith as he “wrestled with God” by questioning traditional answers, following where the path led, and fighting through the repercussions to ultimately break free from things he didn’t even realize held his faith captive.
