Spirituality/Inspiration
Brother Ramon prayerfully and honestly attempts to answer a whole range of questions. His responses are compassionate, insightful, and reasoned, often shedding new light and urging us to look beyond the surface of problems.
The answers that Brother Ramon provides may not be the expected answers, but they become the basis for further thought and prayer. Ramon encourages us to look deeper than the questions we ask, to examine the issues at the heart of our concern, and to allow the questions we have been avoiding to be exposed by the love of God.
Brother Ramon, SSF, is an Anglican Franciscan friar who has worked as a pastor, priest, and university chaplain, and for the last eight years has been living as a hermit. Part of his ministry is counseling people through letters.
My Questions, God’s Questions
My Questions, God’s Questions is the result of feedback received from questionnaires Brother Ramon sent out over a period of eighteen months. The questions come from Anglicans, Baptists, Brethren, Catholics, Methodists, Orthodox, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Quakers, Salvation Army members, and non-Christians. The questions are profound and basic, yet simple and to the point. They are divided into four categories: Questions of Belief, Questions of Spirituality, Questions of Practice, and Questions from Nonbelievers.

Christian doctrine, spirituality, and practical matters of ethics, morality, and lifestyle—all these raise many questions for Christians and non-Christians alike. Often God’s questions seem to take over from our questions, replacing them with a yearning for truth and understanding.
