I'm reading Philip Yancey's Soul Survivor: How My Faith Survived the Church right now. The answer is basically that the example of good and inspiring people, whether Christian or not, sustained his belief in a good God when the church failed.
One of the people he mentions is G. K. Chesterton, and his description of the man and his theology is so intriguing that I decided to explore more; but since I'm already in the middle of two theology books, and have another to read for a book club this month, I picked up the complete Father Brown mystery stories at the library rather than Chesterton's Orthodoxy.
But hubby went to a different library today, and came home with Mercedes Lackey's Exile's Valor, so I guess Father Brown will have to wait!
