Publisher's Summary
In Leaving and Finding Jesus, Jason writes about his deconstructing Emmaus Road faith journey. He confronts the myth of separation with the truth that nothing, not life or death, powers or authorities, present or future, not hell, nor our understandings, beliefs, systems, or actions—separates us from the love of God.
Based on scripture, recent studies, shared stories, and his experiences as a pastor and relational theologian, Leaving and Finding Jesus encourages folks to trade a transactional view of God for something better: friendship.
From hell to hermeneutics, this audiobook deconstructs our often cruel and punishing thoughts about God so we might discover a firm foundation upon which to build our faith: God in Christ, reconciling the world to himself.
Leaving and Finding Jesus is bold, but kind, and will encourage:
- The millions of Christians exhausted by the "for or against" paradigm that seems to rule and define the Christian narrative today.
- Those who are moving from a transactional approach to God toward a relational approach defined by other-centered, self-giving love.
- Those who reject the image of God as a violent, retributive being and embrace God's image as the kind, reconciling spirit at work within us, and our world, for good.
- The faithful followers of Jesus who may no longer identify with organized religion, but are passionate about the work of reconciliation.
What the critics say
"In this beautifully accessible spiritual memoir, Jason flips the tables of any faith far too small and narrow to contain the all-expansive love of God. I'm grateful for any witness whose deconstruction doesn't discard (or rob others of) the truly good news of Jesus. Here, Jason shares with us a living person who's guided him forward, not merely an idea to be left behind." (Bradly Jersak, author, Out of the Embers: Faith after the Great Deconstruction)
"While joining Jason on this fantastic read, I found myself humming REM's 'That's me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight, losing my religion.'” (Dr. Shawn C Harnish, lead pastor, Dansville Foursquare)

Excellent book
I found Jason’s book extremely interesting and challenging of my view of God and the Bible. I am intrigued by his perspective and I find myself reading the Bible with a different lens. I am yet working on my viewpoint but I feel that the fruit of Jason’s way of living is what I want in my life…to live from greater love. I would definitely recommend all of Jason’s books.

Amazing !
The author/narrator has an amazing, reassuring voice and able to communicate clearly such important truths. It's perfect that he is the narrator. The content of the book is incredible, and I will be going thru it many more times to absorb and reflect the message of Greater Love. My spirit is refreshed and rejoices in it.
