Where will you go? After more than 20 years of devotion to the Mormon church, Alyssa Grenfell decided it was time to find out. Join her in a journey of faith deconstruction with this definitive manual to rebuilding after Mormonism.
Consider this the last church handbook you'll ever need!
How to Leave the Mormon Church is the indispensable guide for navigating your way out of the Mormon church. After losing your faith, your first thought was likely, "Now what?" Read this book for advice on:
- Deciding whether or not to leave the church
- Sharing your news with family and friends
- Investigating new beliefs and frameworks
- Protecting your mental health during the transition
- Moving forward with purpose and intention
- Ordering coffee and cocktails for the first time
- Overcoming shame surrounding sex and sexuality
- Dating outside the church
- Examining and renegotiating political opinions
- Leaving Mormonism AND Exmormonism behind
...and so much more! Leaving the church is more than throwing out your garments or taking your name off the church roster. Mormonism is an all-encompassing, high demand religion that seeps into every aspect of your life. This is the comprehensive manual for completely-mentally, emotionally and physically-leaving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
-John Dehlin, Ph.D., Founder of and Host of Mormon Stories "What many of us leaving the LDS Church are looking for is a friend. In her vulnerable storytelling and resource sharing, Alyssa brings that friendship to life. This book is a great sounding board to ask questions, access support and get curious about new and old beliefs. It's a great reminder that in what many consider to be one of the loneliest and disorienting chapters of their lives, you don't have to do it alone."
-Chelsea Homer, Founder of Faith Journey Meetups and Lost & Found Club
