Summary

What happens when an analytical, business-minded skeptic embarks on a faith journey? Becoming a Christ.ian is Ian Tonks' deeply personal, often humorous account of discovering faith in a way that feels authentic, honest, and sometimes messy. This isn't a theological dissertation—it's a relatable, real-world exploration of what it means to follow Christ while wrestling with doubts, asking big questions, and finding joy in the process. Ian shares pivotal moments from his own journey—unexpected encounters, humbling missteps, and transformative realizations—all woven together with humor and heart. Through his experiences, he challenges the idea that faith requires perfection, instead offering a perspective that is deeply human: faith is a process, not a destination. Becoming a Christ.ian is not just a memoir; it's an invitation. Alongside Ian's stories, readers will find reflections and insights that encourage them to engage with their own faith journey in a personal and meaningful way. Whether you're new to Christianity, returning to faith after years away, or looking for a fresh perspective, this book offers encouragement, laughter, and wisdom for anyone seeking to grow spiritually. If you've ever wondered whether faith can be both sincere and imperfect—both deeply rooted and evolving—Becoming a Christ.ian is a book that will challenge, inspire, and reassure you that you're not alone in the journey.
