Alter Girl: Walking Away From Religion Into the Heart of Faith

Publisher Description

Join one woman on a spiritual journey in, around, and through the church on her way to a deeper connection to Jesus...

Andrea Syverson was raised Catholic. As in really Catholic, from plaid jumpers to early-morning Mass to meatless Fridays.

And then she did the unthinkable. She fell in love with a non-Catholic man whose questions about her faith she simply couldn't answer.

What's a good Catholic girl to do?

Frequently whimsical, often profound, always honest, Andrea shares her spiritual journey--one that feels familiar to anyone seeking Jesus. It's a jumbled jaunt from religion to relationship, from going to church to being the church.

Whether you love church or are done with it, or you're simply seeking a more authentic relationship with Jesus--Andrea's story will resonate with your heart.

You'll enjoy...

• A compelling story of Jesus' relentless pursuit of those who desire to know him.
• An upbeat, honest glimpse at how church does--or doesn't--welcome those who come seeking answers.
• Reflective devotions and journaling space at the end that draw you deeper toward your heart of faith.
• Inspiration that you, too, can find your way to a deeper, more transforming relationship with Jesus.
