The self-publishing process for #AsFamiliarAsFamily drained me in all the ways. To tap back into the feelings of joy and enchantment connected to writing, I decided to revisit a collection of poems I wrote in 2019.
After editing this compilation, I pressed upload to soft launch them into the world. These poems are a nod to who I was in 2019, who I am, and who I’m still becoming.
I spent three decades in white evangelical churches. In 2017, I began my lifelong antiracism journey. From there, I continued exchanging core beliefs about gender, sexuality, spirituality, and so much more.
If you are:
- a former evangelical
- curious to learn more about what a faith deconstruction journey can look like
- feeling alone and want to connect with writing that reflects your theological shifts
Then:
#ReflectionsFromAFormerEvangelical might be a book you’ll enjoy.
In this anthology of free verse poetry, I reflect on who I was as a former evangelical know-it-all, who I am, and who I am becoming. I hold out hope to spiritual misfits who are broadening the narratives they were taught within white evangelicalism. I'm also putting an asterisk on my beliefs *subject to change as I do.
The eBook for Reflections from a Former Evangelical is available to order on Amazon for $2.99. Click here if you're interested in checking it out.
[I was also inspired to pick up my poetry collection again after reading unbelieve: poems on the journey to becoming a heretic by Marla Taviano in August. Thank you for sharing your journey through poetry with us, Marla.]
