Publisher's summary

Hurt by the church. Healed by the journey.

Questioning our faith and spiritual beliefs, while leaving the familiarity of our religious homeland, can be excruciatingly painful. Loneliness, isolation, and fear of rejection - from God and others - can give rise to shame, guilt, anger, and sadness. Yet, paradoxically, this uncomfortable process can be a powerful catalyst that leads to tremendous emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.

Theologian, therapist, and ordained pastor Mark Karris is no stranger to the deconstruction/reconstruction process. In Religious Refugees, he explores this disorienting faith shift through the lens of cutting-edge psychological research, theology, philosophy, and, most importantly, the real world experiences of those who are going through - and have gone through - this arduous and confusing journey. You don't have to walk this path alone. Join the legion of others on the road to healing and self-discovery and let this book be your guide!

Worth the read

I always figure that if I get at least one good idea from a book that it is worth the cost. The one good idea from this book is the author’s pentalateral hermeneutic of love.

Preachy instead of helpful

Author has a clear bias toward favoring those who believe like him and not anyone else
