Detoxing from Church turns 10 this year. Well, in book form, anyway. The original series of blog posts documenting my recovery journey from bad church experiences began just under 20 years ago. The unofficial series touched a nerve with many people, and led to later compiling everything into book form for easier access (versus combing through years of old blog posts).
For this 10th Anniversary Edition, I’ve edited and revised the original material. Every writer knows the routine: you continue to stretch, grow, and educate yourself on creative writing, editing, book cover and interior design ... it’s almost impossible to revisit older material without revising it to some degree.
I’ve also included a new collection of Assorted Parables to the 10th Anniversary Edition. Short, creative stories – 20 of ’em – grouped thematically, including a “Detoxing Redux” look at how Wendy & I continue to navigate being “in the system but not of the system,” 20 years on.
Links to paperback, hardcover, and all manner of ebooks can be found on the Detoxing from Church book page.
Yes, I see that hand. You’re wondering about Post-Charismatic and the Genesis Café, am I right? Yes, revised and updated 10th anniversary editions of both books are coming in 2023.
But for now, enjoy the new edition of Detoxing from Church & Assorted Parables.
