What Do You Believe?: Addressing the Disconnect Between Our Actions and Our Stated Beliefs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894855882)

Almost 80 percent of Americans say they believe in God, with most religions teaching peace, love, and understanding; yet crime, lies, hate, racism, misogyny, discrimination, and violence all seem to be reaching pandemic proportions. Maybe we don't believe what we think we do.

There is a disconnect between our actions and what we say we believe, and it's tearing us apart. Society cannot afford for this disconnect to continue. Either we don't know what we truly believe, or we just don't care anymore. I am an optimist and hoping the answer is people don't really know or don't remember what their true beliefs are. What Do You Believe? does not tell people what to believe; it merely asks questions to encourage readers to figure out for themselves what exactly they believe and why they believe it. It then asks readers to consider how their beliefs influence (or not) their actions to help readers bring their actions and beliefs into harmony.
