For anyone wrestling with the gap between the beauty of God’s story and the failures of His people, Why I Still Believe offers a hopeful, honest account. Mary Jo Sharp, once a skeptical believer, reveals how she held on to a compelling faith despite painful experiences with Christian hypocrisy.
In a time when de-conversion stories abound, Sharp provides a rare counter-narrative: a thoughtful journey in which hard questions ultimately led her toward, not away from, faith. She confronts how the church can undermine its own message and explores why God’s story still draws her even when His people fall short.
Addressing pressing questions—about suffering, doubt, the uniqueness of Jesus, evidence for the resurrection, and whether atheism explains life better—Sharp offers clear and compassionate responses. Ultimately, she reframes Christianity as the true good news of redemption, reminding readers that human hypocrisy cannot undo the transforming grace and truth of Christ.
