In a rapidly changing culture, many of us struggle to talk about faith. We can no longer assume our friends understand words such as *grace *or gospel. Others, like *lost *and sin, have become so negative they are nearly conversation-enders. 

     Jonathan Merritt knows this frustration well. After moving from the Bible Belt to New York City, he discovered that the sacred terms he used to describe his spiritual life didn’t connect as they had in the past.  This launched him into an exploration of an increasing American reluctance to talk about faith—and the data he uncovered revealed a quiet crisis of affecting millions. 

     In this groundbreaking book, Jonathan revives ancient expressions through incisive cultural commentary, vulnerable personal narratives, and surprising biblical insights. Both provocative and liberating, *Learning to Speak God from Scratch *will breathe new life into your spiritual conversations and invite you into the embrace of the God who inhabits them.
