![]() ![]() Filled with stories and warm, practical advice, Spiritual Sobriety offers a gentle path out of the desperate cycles of craving-euphoria-hangover and into a freer, clean-and-sober faith practice. The author, who grew up in a hyper-controlling church cult, will help you find hope and rebirth in the ruins of disillusioned faith. If you've ever wondered how a religion that preaches freedom and love can produce judgmental and unkind followers if you've ever felt captive to the demanding God of your own childhood if you've struggled to find contentment without needing another emotional hit from a "life-changing" conference or "mountaintop experience," then Spiritual Sobriety is for you. I don’t remember how I found her probably by following a long trail of link-crumbs but the second I stumbled into her talking about Michael and Debi Pearl and Victoria’s Secret panties, I was hooked. It's in families who inexplicably choose to harm their children in order to abide by cultic church doctrine, but it's in ordinary believers, too, who use God the same way addicts use drugs or alcohol-to numb pain, to alter their mood, or simply to escape the realities of this messy, unpredictable thing called LIFE. 'Girl at the End of the World' by Elizabeth Esther I started reading Elizabeth Esther’s blog around this time last year. In a compelling follow-up to her memoir "Girl at the End of the World," Elizabeth Esther explores how religious fervor can become religious addiction. IT IS AVAILABLE IN BOOKSTORES NATIONWIDE, ONLINE AND AT YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY. ![]() ![]() ![]() Elizabeth's second book, " Spiritual Sobriety," WAS PUBLISHED IN April, 2016. ![]()
