Sinopsis

Ready to leave toxic religion behind but scared of where the journey will take you? Find reassurance and direction from someone who walked the same path and shares how to break free from indoctrination without losing yourself.áBy the time she turned 30, Grete Rachel Howland had mastered the art of being a good evangelical Christian. SheâÇÖd attended weekly church services since she was an infant, been educated in a faith-based elementary school, helped lead her youth group as a teenager, attended an evangelical college, lived as an international missionary, and earned a masterâÇÖs degree in theology from a prominent seminary. But something always felt a little off about the doctrine she was told to proclaim. As she entered her fourth decade of life, Grete sensed that the beliefs she was raised with no longer rang true for her-that they may be doing more harm than good. Soon, the dissonance became unbearable, and Grete made the frightening decision to leave the church for good. With her life as a devout Christian behind her, Grete shifted her focus to writing and education, skills she now uses to guide others on their journeys from fundamentalism to freedom.áPart memoir and part self help guide, How to Leave the Church confronts the heartbreaking, hilarious, often embarrassing aspects of life spent deep in the evangelical Christian church to chart a path toward self-reclamation, even if it means leaving behind everything youâÇÖve known up to that point. Using her own experiences as examples, Grete Rachel Howland offers commiseration and wisdom for readers who come from a similar background and a glimpse into the strange world of American evangelicalism for those who donâÇÖt.áIn this book, youâÇÖll discover:áA step-by-step breakdown of how to disentangle yourself from unhealthy ChristianitySpecific recommendations for dealing with obstacles you may encounter along the wayUnflinching exposure of harmful theologySupport for the process of self-forgivenessConnection to a new, post-church communityáHow to Leave the Church is a much-needed light for those lost in the darkness of oppressive religion and unsure of how to get out.
