Taking Back Faith

About the Book

From heretical theologies to progressive social justice and the core of liberal faith, author Matthew Tittle talks about what many preachers can't-or won't-in Taking Back Faith.

"Matt Tittle's sermons are full of insights and surprises. Whether drawing from children's literature to celebrate the role of friendship in personal salvation, or tapping his Navy experience to explore the nature of personal integrity, Matt approaches significant subjects from fresh and unexpected perspectives. This first collection will leave you wanting more."

-Reverend Gail Lindsay Marriner, minister, First Unitarian Universalist Church, Houston, Texas

"Matt Tittle is a preacher who has been touched with the ability to provide it all: ideas that allow the purpose of one's life to emerge, stories that stretch one to deeper spirit, and wisdom gained from the insights of his own living. We are fortunate to have this budding new preacher in our midst. He is helping us to grow into our best selves!"

-Reverend Dr. Lee Barker, president, Meadville Lombard Theological School, Chicago, Illinois

"Matt Tittle preaches out of an honesty that empowers. He delivers not THE Good News, but his good news in a voice that holds and supports his readers. I wish I could have heard him preach each of these sermons. So will you."

-Reverend William Sinkford, president, Unitarian Universalist Association, Boston, Massachusetts
