I read an excerpt of your book in a magazine and it so resonated with me I purchased and read the book. I was a young convert to a very fundamental Christian church and spent 20+ years trying to live the life of faith it required, including marrying and raising my family within the belief system. At age 35, when I could no longer
reconcile my intellect with my faith, I began the slow process of reaching for truth beyond my religion, or even a supreme being. It is daunting to leave a faith when banishment to eternal hell is your likely punishment. It took me years to extract myself, including ending my marriage.
I was completely captured by the detail of your daily process in becoming an MC and related so well to the blind obedience it required. I appreciated and understood when you stated you could no longer live without intimacy or intellect. Thank you for not glossing over any of the more difficult and personal parts of your journey. I would love to hear or read of your path after leaving the MC's, which you only addressed in general terms at the end of your book (I realize it would be another book's worth of material!) Sharing your difficult journey "out of faith" was cathartic for me. Thank you!
