Many Former Christians Embrace Jesus.
But they do NOT embrace the political division and theological speculation that characterize contemporary Christianity.

Why Would Anyone Go To Church?
Do you find that church services are formulaic, irrelevant and unengaging? If many people find them so, then why would they go to church?

There Are Common Themes That Recur In Many Religions
They are consistent in general, but they do not always agree on the details. Interspirituality draws inspiration from several traditions.

"The Way" is still going strong. Almost 10,000 ebooks and paperbacks have been downloaded or purchased. The book has been featured on many podcasts and several book clubs. An audiobook is on the way, and a foreign publisher is interested in the translation rights.
