Faith is necessary to have a relationship with God. Wojciech Giertych expresses this in "The Spark of Faith." He is the papal theologian, yet writes clearly theological concepts that even I, as a lay person can understand. I savored his thoughts and took many notes.
Everyone's faith is different because God individualizes the grace for each of us, enabling us to be brought into a close relationship with God. That's one of the mysteries of faith.
Faith does not destroy reason or we wouldn't ask questions. Human reason ponders faith and comes to a definition or explanation approaching satisfaction for each of us. This changes, grows, with prayer and sacramental grace.
Wojciech Giertych book is not an easy read, but it's not difficult. I read it as spiritual/meditation--a little at a time. Thus I found it very readable and enjoyable.
