My Teaser?

"In third grade I stole a necklace. As I labored over fractions, nibbling a rubbery pencil eraser and spitting grainy flecks onto the floor, I spied it glinting from Kim’s desk across the aisle."
* ~ from SPIRITUAL MISFIT by Michelle DeRusha


“Declaring my unbelief,” writes DeRusha, “was the first step; declaring my unbelief allowed me to begin to seek authentically.”
 
Spiritual Misfit chronicles one woman’s journey toward an understanding that belief and doubt can coexist. This poignant and startlingly candid memoir reveals how being honest about our questions, our fears, and our discomfort with black-and-white definitions of faith can move us toward an authentic
  and a deepening relationship with God.                      -publisher


* Michelle has me laughing out loud from the get go.
Candid anecdotes and transparency create connection. Spiritual Misfit
available for preorder.  Releasing April 15th.
