Road Away from God book tour with Jonathan Martin: talk, Q+A, book signing Well, it's been a long time coming...I'm so thrilled to announce formally that The Road Away from God: How Love Finds Us Even as We Walk Away, comes out June 7th, 2022! It feels like my most vulnerable and most important book. My third book is also my resurrection book. The living of a thing always takes a lot longer than the telling of it, and there are a whole lotta miles on the road that went into this one. Spoiler alert: the title is stark, but this isn't a book about journeying into atheism. Rather it's the story I have been able to bear witness to over & over again, both in my life & the lives of others: how in Jesus we see a God who will walk with us, even on the road away from God. I'm so grateful for the extraordinary team @readbakerbooks for partnering with me on this! "It's no easy journey disentangling the good news of the gospel from the toxic theologies that have rendered Jesus unrecognizable. It's no wonder the church has sent many walking. In The Road Away from God, Jonathan Martin reimagines Luke's story of two disillusioned disciples walking the Emmaus road away from the holy city where they had watched their hope die a gruesome death right before their eyes. For anyone who is feeling their faith unravel, reckoning with religious trauma, or walking the long road of deconstruction, Martin speaks compassionate hope into the journey of today's disillusioned disciples, revealing that the resurrected Christ is profoundly present with them-even on what seems to be the road away from God. With 'a pastor's heart and poet's touch, as Rachel Held Evans once wrote of Martin, this is a book to help you feel seen in your spiritual journey and all its complexities, and to find resurrection even where you least expect it." I can't wait to share more with you soon! The Road Away from God is available for pre-order now wherever you buy books. If you want to explore the road further with us, season 3 of @thezeitcast drops today on YouTube & wherever you listen to audio podcasts! I never take for granted being able to walk this road with you, friends. Thank you for making the road less lonely.
