I've lost my faith
It’s not every day that a “man of the Church” (what an ugly term) admits to having lost his faith. After the tragic death of a young child belonging to a couple of friends, Daniel decides to broaden his horizons and visit several Native American reservations in the United States and Canada. The encounters and discoveries he makes there lead him to feel ashamed of the Christianity he had professed for more than twenty years. He realizes that it has condoned the unjust seizure of territories where Native Americans had lived for centuries, as well as horrific massacres, and that it has contributed to forced cultural and religious assimilation. This book takes the reader beyond a personal testimony to a critical reexamination of history, the Western worldview, and Christianity. The author bluntly denounces human and religious excesses—even those occurring today—which he does not hesitate to describe as offenses against the Creator. His journey surprises and challenges the reader in more ways than one. Daniel has clearly lost faith in a religious institution whose expression of faith does not represent the Creator of the universe or the values taught by His Messenger.
