Letting Go of God by Julia Sweeney
5.0
This was amazing. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I was hoping to find it in book form, but could only find it as a recorded live performance. I'm glad I did. To hear it from the author makes it far better.
I have to admit that a long time ago when I was deeply religious, I heard about Julia leaving her faith because of her brother's illness and completely judged her, knowing nothing more than that. Now that I have changed my views on religion, I tracked this down and listened in awe. She was 1000 times more spiritual and respectful of god than I ever was. Her journey was so earnest and honest that it almost brought tears to my eyes.
I now share her conclusions, although I could only wish to have arrived at them after such deep and honest searching, and I know I could never express it as well as she did.
No matter what your views, you really should listen to this incredible, honest account of her journey. It will have you laughing and crying and leave you challenged. What more could you ask for?
