**A groundbreaking book on the true nature of faith deconstruction.**

*Alisa and Tim help the reader to deconstruct the deconstructionists and thus to respond to them, both with arguments and with love and sensitivity. This is a timely book*
**– Carl Trueman, author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self**

*"Deconstruction"* is a movement sweeping through today's church, causing some traditional Christian beliefs to be labelled "toxic" and triggering confusion and consternation across generations. In this eye-opening book, Childers and Barnett help readers understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it's compelling to some, how it disorients lives, and ways to lovingly respond.

Maybe you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and you are struggling to know how to respond;
Maybe you are trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through;
Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your "toxic" Christian beliefs and you don't know what to do;
Maybe you're experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel.
Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.

In this seminal book, Alisa Childers, author of *Another Gospel?*, and Tim Barnett, creator of *Red Pen Logic*, will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.

A needful read for any Christian (or those who are questioning)
This book starts out a bit heady with definitions, however they are essential to understanding the concepts in the following chapters. Deconstructing is the questioning of your faith no longer believing that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. This is by no means the same as questioning a traditional belief and studying the Word while seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God can handle your questions! This title is written to aid those who have a someone in their life who is going through this process. It hits very close to home for me and was extremely helpful. I only wish my loved one would come to a place of humility to read it for themselves. It's a real eye opener!

An Essential Read
This book is a timely and much-needed resource for the Church. Even if you haven’t heard the term ‘deconstruction’ as pertaining to the Christian faith, it’s highly likely you’ve seen its effect in your church, among family, or as prominent christians renounce their faith. In ‘The Deconstruction of Christianity’ Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett provide a overview of the philosophy of deconstruction, before moving to explain how it is being used today as a means through which christians methodically dismantle previously affirmed tenets of historical and biblical christianity.
Written specifically for the pastors, friends and family of those who are in the process of deconstruction, Alisa and Tim walk the reader through some of the reasons and explain how we can respond wisely and with compassion - as individuals and the broader Church.
Alisa and Tim approach this topic, fraught though it be, with grace and wisdom. They show why we shouldn’t use ‘deconstruction’ to describe a process of questioning or wrestling with our faith whereby it is being reformed in accordance with and under the authority of Scripture; and they offer hopeful examples of faithful christians who have wrestled with difficult questions, without leaving the faith.
As is the case with both Alisa and Tim’s individual endeavours, this book is bathed in scripture and grounded in its principles, which gives me great confidence to recommend it wholeheartedly.
