 Breaking Up with God by Saran Sentilles

Release Date:  June 7, 2011 (HarperOne)

Amazon.com Description: 

I broke up with God. The breakup was devastating. It was like a divorce when all the friends you had as a couple are forced to choose sides and end up not choosing yours.

Sarah Sentilles's relationship with God was not casual. When it began to unravel she was in the ordination process to become an Episcopal priest, a youth minister at a church, and a doctoral student in theology at Harvard. You might say they were engaged and that the wedding was all planned. Calling it off would be more than a little awkward. But in the studying of the religion she'd been raised on and believed wholeheartedly, one day she woke up and realized . . . it was over. (Read more.)


I, too, went through this period in my life, where I wanted to break up with God.  It didn't really work out since He wouldn't let go of me.  But I am curious to hear Sentilles' story and see where she arrives.  People arriving or leaving Christian faith always seem to fascinate me.

Tell me, what upcoming releases are you waiting on?
