Purchase options and add-ons

Thinking Out Loud is a sharp, essential collection of essays and observations, asking fearless questions about life, love, religion, relationships, parenting and more. Stephen Philip Walrath is clear at the outset: he wishes to give the reader the benefit of the knowledge he has accumulated throughout his life and perhaps spare the reader some of the same mistakes he made. The tone of the book is personal, confessional, and intimate. It sometimes feels we are invading his personal space, overhearing an internal conversation you weren't suppose to hear. Each chapter looks at a different moment in Walrath’s life and a different question he was driven to explore. He takes you from the front porch of his home in Wisconsin to a Seattle dockside. At each point, he is challenged with questions about the nature of existence and the importance of staying true to oneself. One main focus of Walrath’s work is his important journey away from extreme fundamentalism. He is a man who enjoys pondering the questions of the universe and examining the rigorous answers offered by the structure of his religion. You will read Thinking Out Loud over and over and never exhaust all that it reveals to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars " I'm glad I gave it a try
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018
I've just finished reading Author Stephen Philip Walrath's latest book - Thinking Out Loud - Uncovering an extraordinary life. Actually I just finished reading it through for the second time.

I just was not certain what to expect after reading the back of the book cover. It said "The result is confirming, challenging, at times uncomfortable or offensive..." I'm glad I gave it a try.

I started by picking and choosing a few chapters that I felt related to me and my journey. My first read through I admit was mostly skimming to see the premise and direction of his work. I read chapters like "I am enough", Dear Mr. Helprin, and "It begins. I was pleasantly surprised at the open and honest emotions with a style that was personable and relatable.

I'm telling you I quickly became a fan. I decided to read it through cover to cover in my most concentrating state of mind. I did come to realize that starting at the beginning and going straight through gave me a strong sense of this author's points of view. But, even if you choose chapters that most interest you, you'll come away with insight into the author's points of view.

I highly recommend this collection of personal stories. Stephen's writing style is easy and conversational, and his struggles are portrayed with honesty, sometimes with humor, but always in a non-judgemental manner. I never felt he was trying to teach me how to live my life. I was just appreciative to be allowed to contemplate the questions he asks.
