Equally comedic and insightful, Letting Go of God is Sweeney's brilliant one-woman show about her struggle with her faith. Grappling with the seeming contradictions in Adam and Eve, Noah, the Ten Commandments, and even the teachings of Jesus - and trying to understand the Bible's messages about morality, family values, and human suffering while faced with door-knocking Mormons and wise-cracking priests - Sweeney takes listeners on her very personal journey from God to "not-God".
This performance was recorded on November 19, 2005, at the Ars Nova Theatre in New York City.
Julia Sweeney was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1989-94, and is best known for the mysteriously androgynous character, "It's Pat!". She has also served as a consulting producer on Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives. Letting Go of God is her third monologue. She performed her first, God Said, "Ha!", in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and on Broadway, as well as in a film produced by Quentin Tarantino. The CD version was nominated for a Grammy.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Searing and bracingly funny....Letting Go of God is refreshingly unrancorous, lucid and, yes, inspirational." (The New York Times)
"Letting Go of God is a gale-force breath of fresh air into the mostly political dialogue about religion in our time." (Los Angeles Times)

Julia didn't let go of God without a fight. She has done her research and is well informed in a variety of fields. In this performance she tells us about her personal struggle with religion, and demonstrates how her doubt and research have led her to where she is today. And she does this all in a very entertaining way.
If you struggle with religion, and especially Catholicism, you will enjoy this. If you are on the other side, you may find it troublesome, although she is not disrespectful at all.
It takes guts to do what she has done and she deserves kudos for her bravery.
Funny but true

Would you consider the audio edition of Letting Go of God to be better than the print version?
Julia Sweeney addresses the issue of God, life, death and children with aplomb. Her honest discovery of God in her life is at times funny, frustrating and always honest. This listen may offend some, but I found it to be quite incredible. Enjoy!What was one of the most memorable moments of Letting Go of God?
When she talks about suffering I find it to be the one of the most difficult and honest moments of the performance.What does Julia Sweeney bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It couldn't be done without her...Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book not only made me laugh, but it also made me cry.Bittersweet, honest and at time utterly hysterical

Any additional comments?
I enjoyed learning Julia's story and hearing how she has searched and thought out a spiritual foundation for herself. She asked many of the same questions, struggled with the same text, attitudes and dogma I did while attending seminary. I have great respect for Julia, because her beliefs are her own based on her own prayer, meditation, study and search, and not that of a closed minded faith that was handed to her without her own participation. I found this book to be smart, fresh and thoughful. Blessing to you Julia on your continued search.a great spring board for additional discussion.
