George R. Sinclair Jr. is a retired Presbyterian Church (USA) minister. He is the author of Walking in Wonder, Resilience in Ministry (2014).
"George R. Sinclair Jr., honorably retired pastor, has written a
book for lay persons seeking deeper understanding. The religious
landscape of our current national context has changed dramatically.
A new form of discipleship is required that takes seriously the
disillusionment many of God's people have with institutional
Christianity and engenders hope. Look Around takes the reader on a
meditative journey, engaging science and theology, in the joys and
wonders of possessing a personal and public faith."
--Alton B. Pollard III, Louisville Presbyterian Theological
Seminary
"If you have ever wanted to have an honest, jargon-free
conversation with a wise and open pastor about the Christian faith,
this is your book. George Sinclair knows the questions people have.
. . . He is not afraid to give answers, faithfully confessing what
we do know and candidly admitting where human wisdom ends. For
those seeking to understand the basics of Christianity, this book
is a treasure."
--Thomas G. Long, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
"Look Around begins a vital conversation, particularly for the
moment we live in. Raising courageous questions and seeking to
ground responses to those questions in his religious tradition, the
author conducts readers into exactly the kind of intellectual and
spiritual exploration that will benefit us all, especially pastors
and preachers who have the role of speaking a clear word in a time
of crisis."
--Michael Jinkins, Austin Presbyterian Seminary and Louisville
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
"This contemporary presentation of the Christian faith and its
relationship with a generous God affirms all the questions. It also
connects our curiosity with the ancient questions that people of
faith have always asked. Whether you already claim the faith and
want to be reminded why, or are a modern seeker searching for a
host of answers, you will not want to put this book down."
--Theodore J. Wardlaw, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary
