About this ebook

"Marla artfully and bravely gives all of us a front row seat to her own deconstruction while also welcoming us and helping us feel safe in our own wildernesses." -Matthew Paul Turner, New York Times bestselling author of What Is God Like?

When you start to doubt your once-certain faith, it can feel overwhelming, discouraging, and honestly kind of terrifying. But the very good news is that you're not alone.

In unbelieve: poems on the journey to becoming a heretic, Marla Taviano-author, single mom, and former very-good-Christian-girl who had all the answers-welcomes you into a space where you can let it all out, let it all go, and start heading in brave new directions. And she'll be right there beside you on your journey.

In her past life, Taviano wrote books for Christians that today make her cringe, but with unbelieve she offers a simple poem on each page that will make you say, simply, "hell yeah." Covering biblical literalism, fundamentalist hypocrisies, racism, LGBTQ+ rights, loving the poor, and so much more, Marla helps you fight for creating new boundaries with toxic beliefs and discovering who you were meant to be.

With appendices of amazing book lists, her written apology to Democrats and Jesus, and a bold affirmation of gay marriage, you'll find unbelieve to be a book you return to again and again-whenever you need a friendly companion on the road to heresy and freedom.
