I wrote a book about deconstructing inherited faith, in particular my seventh day Adventist worldview, and searching for spirit and meaning out of the rubble. Now I just have to figure out how to market and publish it. Join me?

I wrote a book abt growing up in Adventism, the paradox of certainty within mystery, my unraveling, & the beauty left in the ruins.
Now I’m editing it😓. If that sounds interesting, there will be a few sneak peaks 👇🏿

As a Reddit user reminded me, the Fourth of July falls on a Friday. A tension where the simple because sinful at sunset.
I wrote a little about that tension in a chapter called ‘an anointing’ of my manuscript Greatly Disappointed #adventism #sabbath #deconstruction

Fourth on a Friday
from an ex-adventist reddit thread regarding when the simple becomes sinful as the sunsets. (plus a snippet from the manuscript!!)

I just completed the first draft of my memoir of my journey in Adventism.

It will be edited and revised many times I’m sure.

But whether or not it is ever published or read, it has been written.

I did it.
