This book was born out of my religious practice in the institutional church. It was either give expression to my reflections on faith or go insane. Literally. I was actually halfway there when I realized the church had beaten me to the crazy house. So here I am struggling with my conflicting experiences. about the book

If one’s preaching is not threatening the world’s order true to the gospel, then it must be questioned.

Humanity puts the insanity in Christianity.

The more the church obsesses with fundraising, doctrine, and good form, the less it will be relevant to the people who need it most.

Almost every sister in ministry I know can recount a time or twenty when she has felt the same way... Yet, we play along with the vain hope that we can get ours and the game will change on its own.

Not everyone knows my name, but everyone knows my story.
