Faith, hope and questions.
I’m a writer with a deep passion for justice and for telling stories that help make sense of our beautiful, complicated world.
My first book, Blessed are the Undone: Testimonies of the Quiet Deconstruction of Faith in Canada, co-authored with Peter Schuurman, began with a set of questions about the Church and carries forward the theme of justice that threads its way throughout my work. Since its release in September 2024, Blessed are the Undone has been hitting best-seller status on Amazon in Sociology of Religion as well as Politics and Government.
I’m also an Editor who loves helping others bring an idea from “Hey, what do you think of this?” to a polished final product, which happens quite a bit at Christian Courier.
Best-selling author of Jesus and John Wayne, Kristin Kobes DuMez, recently wrote a Substack post about our book that you can read here!
Canadian Christians frustrated with the Church have come ‘Undone’ and are leaving politely, almost apologetically, in what this book dubs a Quiet Deconstruction. Blessed are the Undone asks: what aspects of faith are being questioned, and why?
Weaving in church history, cultural analysis and their personal stories, Bick and Schuurman use canoe camping to illustrate the twists and turns of the spiritual journey. Whether you feel like you’re up the creek without a paddle when it comes to faith, or if people you love have lost their bearings, this book is for you.
