"We all leave childhood with some 'exit wounds' and internalize them as some form of 'I am not enough.' Since no one can shame us more deeply than those from whom we expect grace, our families and spiritual communities unknowingly and unintentionally can be deeply wounding. Ben's journey reminds us that God's healing grace is immeasurably greater than all our shame."
--Paul D. Fitzgerald & Susanna Fitzgerald, Founders of HeartConnexion Seminars

"Many of us go through painful periods of faith deconstruction. Some of us abandon the struggle, overwhelmed by the pain and disorientation, and settle for either a life of shallow faith or no faith at all. . . . DeLong reminds us that our weaknesses do not disqualify us. Rather, they birth in us a hard-won compassion and open us to receive the unexpected revelation of God's unconditional love and acceptance."
--Stephanie Lobdell, Author of Signs of Life
