About this audiobook
Have you ever felt like you’ve had more questions than answers? Have you ever been troubled by the hard truth that life is equal parts disappointment and hope?
New York Times bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylor in Leaving Church shares, “This is not the life I planned, or the life I recommend to others. But it is the life that has turned out to be mine, and the central revelation in it for me—that the call to serve God is first and last the call to be fully human—seems important enough to witness to on paper. This book is my attempt to do that.”
Once hailed as one of America’s most effective and beloved preachers, eloquently tells the moving and delightful story of her search to find an authentic way of being Christian—even when it meant giving up her pulpit.
Leaving Church will remind you to observe the world around you, that you’re not alone if you’re struggling with your faith, and to never give up on your search for authenticity. This book is more than a memoir, it is a profound yet fresh wilderness experience that will remind you to keep walking in your faith.
Praise for Leaving Church:
“This beautiful book is rich with wit and humanness and honesty and loving detail….I cannot overstate how liberating and transforming I have found Leaving Church to be.” —Frederick Buechner, author of Beyond Words
“A finely crafted memoir . . . a rich evocation of her lifelong love affair with God.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Taylor is a better writer than LaMott and a better theologian than Norris. ...she is the best there is.” — Living Church
