About this listen
Dubbed "a heroic gate-crasher" by New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Brian D. McLaren explores reasons to leave or stay within the church and if so how...
"Brian's new book on remaining Christian knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of framing and naming the questions. I cannot stop reading it. Thank you, Brian!" —Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, author of The Universal Christ
"Any thoughtful Christian has been asking the questions McLaren tackles here, but many of us are afraid to voice them aloud. In Do I Stay Christian? we’re gifted a gentle guide who opens ideas and voices the questions we cannot, naming our frustration, fear, and hesitant hope." —Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, former Senior Minister, The Riverside Church; Founder, Invested Faith
"[McLaren's] earnest, conversational tone sounds as though he's speaking directly to each individual listener." -AudioFile on Do I Stay Christian?
Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people—including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders—are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help listeners make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.
There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking—or if it's a question that someone you love is asking—this is the book you've been waiting for.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I enjoyed this journey
I really enjoyed this journey of reflection of what religion means to me personally and if I should stay or leave my faith. It worked for me to make this important decision.

An Encouraging, Reassuring, Provoking, and Challenging Read
I appreciated so much the tone of the author as he discussed delicate, difficult, and disparaging issues, questions, concerns, and choices. McLaren demonstrates the kind of human he strives to be; doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly. I have been a follower of Jesus for 46 years, in which I served as a pastor in a conservative evangelical denomination for 35 years. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is seriously considering the question “Should I Stay Christian?” or has a loved one who is. But be prepared to encouraged, reassured, provoke, and challenged.

Amazing
I’ve always enjoyed Brian’s work. This stands out as the deepest and most difficult to me. I’m sure I will stay Christian and hopefully can use the materials in this book to figure it all out.

Scaringly honest
But just what I needed, finally a fiercely honest look at the faith that I received, with kind advice and direction on how to be able to continue to live and thrive in it.

Thoughtful and encouraging
This book is well researched and presented in a humble and open hearted way. I so appreciate a theologian who wrestles deeply with the big questions and shares knowledge and wisdom without any manipulation or hidden agenda.

Another progressive “Christian” theory
A good beginning to the problems of the church now, but the conclusions goes to the theology of Christianity instead of the sins of humanity. Evolutionary theory projects another “Jesus”? Jesus has given the answer, not waiting the answer from “evolving universe “. All the saints shows that our faith is in baby status not the Christian faith. The problem is ours, not the Christian teachings. So it is better to change the title to :Do I stay church?
