A groundbreaking book on the true nature of faith deconstruction

Alisa and Tim help the reader to deconstruct the deconstructionists and thus to respond to them, both with arguments and with love and sensitivity. This is a timely book! -- Carl Trueman, author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self

A movement called ‘deconstruction’ is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can help you not only understand what’s happening but also stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.

• Maybe you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and you are struggling to know how to respond;
• Maybe you are trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through;
• Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your “toxic” Christian beliefs and you don’t know what to do;
• Maybe you’re experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel.

Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.

In this seminal book, Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel?, and Tim Barnett, creator of Red Pen Logic, will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.

Deconstructing the Deconstructionist movement

Is your loved one in the process of moving away from Christianity? Are you worried about the fate of their immortal soul? Then this is the book for you. Learn about the deconstructionist movement and how you can speak to your loved one with kindness and truth. The prayer at the end is such a fantastic way to enlist the power of the Holy Spirit to help them on their journey.

Learn to doubt well

It is the responsibility of the church to be well informed and well intentioned when addressing the doubts of the world. So many Christians live their lives not knowing what they believe or why they believe it. Alisa and Tim do a great job explaining why faith matters and the need for reformation over deconstruction. It is one thing to take something apart, it is another to take something apart and put it back together into something better than the original. Great book!

Very helpful and balanced

For anyone considering deconstruction or who knows someone doing it - this is very helpful. They are informative and compassionate.

The book we need in this time

Alisa and Tim did an incredible job graciously explaining how we can walk with loved ones through deconstruction. Thank you for challenging me through this work!

a solid perspective

I knew this was a problem in the body of Christ, but it actually explains why I'm seeing an exodus of believer leavers and it has helped give me a proper way to deal with it. I'm grateful.
