Publisher Description
USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller
An honest exploration of disappointment with the Church, Raised to Stay is for anyone weary of God’s people but longing to keep their faith in God.
God might seem silent right now. God’s people might seem not worth the wounds. But hold on as Natalie Runion embarks on a journey for all who are wandering, wondering, and wrestling. Together, we will move toward trusting God again, knowing that even though Christian community may fail us, the love of God never fails.
When we say yes to God, we don’t say yes to church politics, ladder climbing, or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace. Through honest words and deeply personal story, Runion challenges us to be part of a generation known for the passionate pursuit of Christ. To be remembered for loving one another, forgiving one another, and persevering with one another in our hunger for God.
We aren’t quitters. We are the stayers.
Customer Reviews
Staying Power
This book was a great reminder of the impact of wandering and wondering. I was encouraged to not quit in the midst of my frustration and confusion. This book will benefit those who’ve experienced hurt and pain at the hands of those commuted to love, those that stray and are perplexed in the midst of doubt. Too often deconstruction leads to walking away from not only the church but our faith. Natalie shares her story and walks with us a friend who desires us to remain to experience healing and the ultimate love of belonging.
