In this poignant, strikingly honest account, theologian Elouise Renich Fraser reveals her inner journey to overcome fear - fear of being wrong, doing wrong, being misunderstood and ignored - to confront her past and learn to befriend the Bible. Her story will inspire and encourage other "beginners" - at whatever stage in their personal and theological journeys - to learn to read theological texts more sympathetically, to develop theological imagination and to find their own voices as authentic human beings before God.
