First published 2014
Jen Hatmaker lived the typical American Christian life until God began asking her uncomfortable questions. What is the real purpose of the church? What does faith actually require? Her consumer-driven existence suddenly felt hollow when measured against these divine inquiries. Hatmaker admits her imperfections as she describes leaving behind predictable religious routines. She challenges readers who feel trapped by empty church traditions and cultural Christianity. Millions share her frustration with religious games and unfulfilled spiritual promises. Hatmaker argues that Jesus wants to disrupt comfortable faith. She pushes readers to examine whether their beliefs extend beyond safe, boring practice. Her transparent account reveals the tension between easy religion and authentic discipleship. The book speaks to anyone craving genuine spiritual direction and wondering if faith demands more than weekly attendance and surface-level commitment.
