Publisher's Summary
Doubt-filled spiritual leader and reluctant Grammy-nominated Christian musician Michael Gungor finally let go of his belief in God as he tried to whittle together a god that he could love. Letting go of the stories that defined his identity and value in the world led Gungor and his family on a wild and painful journey through atheism, mysticism, betrayal, loss, medical issues, moving trucks, and thousands of online trolls.
The deconstruction of his faith is one story. The transformation of it is another. As Gungor lets us know, our stories are the seams of illusion that we sew into reality - in order to label this and that. But what you think of as you (or anything else for that matter) is simply movement within the ocean of Being - of This. Once you see that is it just a story, you can let go and be free.
This is beyond words, category, or distinction. It simply and fully is.
Through personal story, parable, philosophy, physics, and absurdity, Gungor shows us that who we think we are is an illusion, a constriction of reality that creates suffering in our lives. This: Becoming Free is a letter of love, reminding you of who you truly are under those stories of yours.

Simple yet profound
This is a great book, and an even better audiobook thanks to Michael’s musical talents helping you to further immerse yourself in “This”. I find myself always looking for the next moment, the next “high”, the next event, etc. This book has had me rethink how to just be and absorb myself in this. It has pushed me in seeing others through a lens of oneness and deepening empathy. Some, especially from a Christian background, may be turned off by michael’s dive into Buddhism, but I encourage you to be open to his words. As they echo very much the words of Jesus, not just the Buddha.

very thought provoking
so neat to hear his story, especially with his background in the church. swings quite far to the end of the spectrum of letting go but a great exercise non the less.

Refreshing, honest, delightful
I enjoyed listening to this book so much. The content of the book is so freeing and honest, with the added touches of scoring which I’ve never heard on an audiobook. Loved it. It’s funny, it opened my heart, it made me cry... highly recommend.
