Leaving Religion, Finding Grace

This is a book I could not put down. I lovd every moment of reading it. I really appreciated how open and honest Kendra was about the horrible struggles they went through as a family and what she learned through it.

Kendra opens up about her walk with Christ, her doubts, her fears, all the while drawing you in to understanding how she grew to be more like Christ and that you can as well. She had no idea how little she really was walking with Christ until tragedy happened, and her eyes and those of her husband were opened to how life with Christ was meant to be more than just following rules and behaving in a specific way.

This is a transforming book and I highly recommend it to you!

About the book:
The “right” homeschooling philosophy. The “right” brand of theology. The “right” meal-planning, home-managing, keep-it-all-together parenting.

Kendra Fletcher, homeschooling mom of eight, had it all “right,” until it all fell apart. In the course of eighteen months, Kendra found her baby in a coma, ran over her five-year-old, and nearly lost her eight-year-old to a septic ruptured appendix. Lost and Found is the story of how God used those events to transform her family’s self-righteous religion into freedom in Christ.

Fletcher’s debut book is the gripping true story of how God used suffering to save her family from empty religion. As wave after wave of crisis hit, the Fletchers discovered that getting religion “right” wasn’t a good substitute for a living relationship with a loving God. Through their suffering, they learned about misplaced identities and false hope, and they threw themselves wholly into the arms of Jesus—where they found the grace they needed.

Fletcher, a well-known writer and conference speaker in Christian homeschooling circles, addresses the quiet legalism that so easily infiltrates Christian communities and exposes the dangers of focusing our hopes on the “right” ways of worship, work, and family life. More than a memoir, Lost and Found invites all of us to give up the things that hold us in bondage and find our value, worth, significance, hope, and identity in Christ alone.
