The understanding of God that many Christians insist is so clear in the Bible makes faith seem like an all-or-nothing proposition. When much of that rigid projection seems in doubt, it’s not surprising that many people leave behind this take-it-or-leave-it religion.

Pastor Mark Feldmeir offers an introduction to a God that many people weren’t aware existed – a mysterious, uncontainable, still-active God who loves and cares for real people with real problems. He offers glimpses of the ineffable God, who can emerge when we forget what we think we’re supposed to believe about God and opens us up to the mystery, wonder, and compelling love we crave.

“I am among the millions for whom traditional ways of thinking and talking about God have stopped working. For a while, I wondered if that meant I had to become an atheist or agnostic. But Life after God has helped me see that my problem isn’t with God but only with some ways of thinking of God that used to help people but now actually hurt people. I love this book, and I think you will too.”
Brian D. McLaren, author of Do I Stay Christian
