It was described as a book about faith and a departure from the author's typical topics.
And I went, Henry this is a different Henry Cloud book. This is way different than anything you've done. The new book is out. It is officially a national bestseller. It came out a couple of weeks ago. Why I Believe, a Psychologist's Thoughts on Suffering, Miracles, Science, and Faith. This book is different for you and it was real personal, real vulnerable for you wasn't it?
It starts with, I have a problem. And this book is my attempt to solve it. I love God. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's real.
He's proven that to me for decades. That's not my problem. My problem is I love my friends and many of them don't know him.
And I struggle sometimes with how to talk to him.
It's probably the easiest way to summarize it is in the preface.
Episode: Don’t Be Another Statistic in the Debt Disaster
Dr. Henry Cloud wrote this book about his faith and how it works in juxtaposition with his scientific knowledge. He felt it was important to share his thoughts with his intellectual friends who have been wondering about his beliefs.
It is I read everything that Henry writes number one he's a world-class thinker and author but number two he's a good friend and this is a book completely different than anything he's ever done. It's called Why I Believe A Psychologist's Thoughts on Suffering Miracles, Science and Faith so it's my good friend Henry explaining why he believes in God because he runs in an intellectual world a bunch of nerds and he said this is I've always wanted to tell my friends these things but I sometimes lose the courage to do it in person and can't find the right venue and it's uncomfortable and they always wonder these things about me because they know I'm a person of faith but they didn't know why and they couldn't juxtaposition that with their science knowledge you know.
Yeah Henry and I were talking a few weeks ago and I haven't seen him this clear-eyed and excited about getting a book out I mean this one's sitting on his chest and it sounds pretty remarkable I can't wait to dig into it.
Why I Believe is a brand new book that comes out today but I recommend it highly.
