The Road Away from God

Honest words for those who feel the ache of leaving home

It's no easy journey disentangling the good news of the gospel from the toxic theologies that have rendered Jesus unrecognizable to so many of us. The road is long, painful, and often lonely as we grapple with our disillusionment and look for healing and something to hold on to. But it is not one we need walk alone.

In The Road Away from God, Jonathan Martin reimagines Luke's story of two disillusioned disciples walking the Emmaus road away from the holy city where they had watched their hope die a gruesome death right before their eyes. With compassion born from his own experience, Martin reveals that the resurrected Christ is profoundly present with us--even as walk away.

This is a book to help you feel seen in your spiritual journey and all its complexities . . . and to find resurrection where you least expect it.
