Summary

"Feeling betrayed by your religion?

After 24 years in the Evangelical movement, Phil Davis decided to leave his ""first faith."" It was not a decision he took lightly. Feeling sick of the institutional church, tired of the manipulative ""voice of God"" drummed into his head, and trusting that the real God was somewhere beyond the theology he was taught, the author deconstructed and then reconstructed his view of the Divine Presence. In Leaving God for God, Davis takes us on his journey to de-program himself and open himself to the God beyond any one religion.

Along the way, he asked himself some hard questions:

- How much of our faith is based upon a set of church ""doctrines"" that we are told to believe?

- Is God just a theological construct?

- Wouldn't a truly divine Superior Being be above and beyond our religious beliefs?

- Is it possible that religion can be a major obstacle to discovering the truth about the Divine?

In the end, Davis wound taking a wrecking ball to his old theological house of cards. Is that a dangerous proposition? Perhaps so. But the journey was worth the drama, the surprises were worth the risk, and the rewards were quite beyond expectations.

Leaving God for God is one seeker's story of leaving the parochial ""god"" of one faith for the God over all faiths. Reading it will make you ask some hard questions, too.

Buy Leaving God for God today, and join Phil Davis on a journey out of organized religion into the truth of a God bigger than any human faith."
