A first-of-its-kind devotional for the disenchanted, disillusioned, and deconstructed

Countless Christians are deconstructing the fear-based faith they were handed, but many don’t want to give up on God—they want to love and be loved by Jesus without hateful or abusive theology. If you’re one of these believers, this feminist, anti-racist, LGBTQ-affirming devotional will take you on a journey of spiritual reenchantment. Featuring 40 devotions on God’s radical and liberating salvation, it’s here to help you heal your church hurt, restore your sense of community, and embrace Jesus’s heart-healing forgiveness. Move beyond rigid religion and reconnect with the undeniable truth that predates and will outlive all the toxic theology in the world: God made you to love you.

So inspired

I loved this audible book so much! The author Rev. Lizzie McManus -Dail narrates this beautiful audiobook Her voice makes it more of a connection to her words and her story. We get a glimpse of her life and the word of the Lord. She shows you how to include the Lord's word into life practice as well as showing us how we all need to love and remember human nature. I have chapter 40 on repeat because it is such a beautiful audio. I recommend it this book to all!

A bold and beautiful devotional

I loved everything about this book, each chapter a vibrant meditation on a scriptural passage followed by a prayer, and indeed I did reconnect with joy in the reading of it! Rev. Lizzie’s narration is wonderful, warm, grounding, sometimes bubbling over with joy and humor. I know I’ll be revisiting this one frequently!

As someone who has felt hurt in church, this book made me want to find an Episcopalian community.

Incredible Book

This is exactly what I needed to hear. In a time when the bible is used as a weapon, Lizzie gives us a different way to see the word of God. The stories she brings to life are challenging but so relatable. She makes you feel like Jesus is truly all around us. I have recommended this to everyone I know, and even bought the hardback. I cant thank her enough for this work of art.

I felt so lonely…

… but then I came across this book. Rev. Lizzie offers fresh air in the stuffy atmosphere of Christianity. I felt so lonely in my thoughts (that are so similar to the author’s), but now I know that they make sense! Thank you!
