I Hate Church

I Hate Church is written for those who love Jesus but have been wounded, exhausted, or disillusioned by what faith has become.

It is not an attack on belief. It is a confession from someone who still believes.

This book is for those who met religion before they met Jesus. For those who stayed and grew tired. For those who left and still feel the ache. For anyone who has wondered whether God looks like the systems built in His name.

Through personal story, Scripture, and hard-earned reflection, Andrew Alleyne traces a journey through church culture, spiritual ambition, failure, loss, and grace. From pulpits and back rooms to street corners and hospital halls, this book names both the beauty and the damage that can exist in religious spaces, and asks why grace remains scandalous enough to keep finding us anyway.

At the heart of the book is the ancient story of Hosea, a prophet commanded to love the unfaithful. That story becomes a lens for understanding a God who keeps coming after His people, even when they run. It echoes through Scripture, through the Cross, and into modern lives marked by shame, burnout, and longing for something truer.

This is not a manual for fixing the Church.
It is not a case for walking away from God.

It is a mirror.

It invites readers to look honestly at what has been lost, what has been broken, and what grace is still restoring. It leaves room for grief, repentance, and hope without offering easy answers or polished solutions.

Whether you have left church, remained but grown weary, or never felt like you belonged in the first place, this book is an invitation.

Grace did not stop in the Bible.
It is still happening.
And it may be closer than you think.
