Doubt-filled spiritual leader and reluctant Grammy-nominated Christian musician Michael Gungor finally let go of his belief in God as he tried to whittle together a god that he could love. Letting go of the stories that defined his identity and value in the world led Gungor and his family on a wild and painful journey through atheism, mysticism, betrayal, loss, medical issues, moving trucks, and thousands of online trolls.

The deconstruction of his faith is one story. The transformation of it is another. As Gungor lets us know, our stories are the seams of illusion that we sew into reality-in order to label this and that. But what you think of as you (or anything else for that matter) is simply movement within the ocean of Being-of THIS. Once you see that is it just a story, you can let go and be free. THIS is beyond words, category, or distinction. It simply and fully is. Through personal story, parable, philosophy, physics, and absurdity, Gungor shows us that who we think we are is an illusion, a constriction of reality that creates suffering in our lives. This: Becoming Free is a letter of love, reminding you of who you truly are under those stories of yours.

"""THIS is one of the most incredible books I've read. It's by my friend Michael Gungor and put into words the unspeakable very beautifully. It's also just a great story told with humor, heart and a lot of insight."" —Pete Holmes, comedian, host of The Pete Holmes Show and the You Made It Weird podcast"
