Publisher's Summary
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.

Less about going away and more about finding our way.
Brilliant. Poignant & beautiful to be immersed in and journey with, a depth of insight grounded in timeless Christian wisdom infused with the fresh breath of something deeper and wider. Familiar enough to engage people of faith and open enough to invite those unfimailiar with the pew or the pulpit. If you will brave the unknown or if you already find yourself on this God forsaken road, this sermon in a story (or 7)will loosen the hardened soil of the seasoned church-goer or expat, bring comfort to the weary wanderer and invite the comfortable into curious wonder, where we might just learn to see the one who has been walking along side us the whole time in a whole new light. Note: not for the narrow minded. If you are looking for something to tell you what you already always knew, this might challenge you so much you leave 3star reviews.
