A Book by Joe Degidio

The GOSPEL WRECKING CREW

Wreck religion.
Rediscover the real Jesus.

For people who left church. For people who stayed but never felt at home. For anyone wondering if the Jesus they walked away from was ever the real one.

The Gospel Wrecking Crew by Joe Degidio
The Hard Question

What if the Jesus
you left was never him?

Somewhere in 2,000 years, the come-as-you-are message became a dress code. The God who pursued you became the God who punished you. The Jesus you walked away from may have been a version handed to you by people who never knew him either.

This book is for you if

Six honest categories. Pick the one that fits. The book was written for all of them.

01

You walked away

The Sunday performance stopped working. You left. You never stopped wondering.

02

You were hurt

The people who promised love handed you control. The scars are still there.

03

You still have questions

Nobody gave you real answers. The silence in response was its own answer.

04

You are exhausted

The performance ate the prayer life. The serving ate the soul. You went home empty.

05

You still believe

You never lost the belief. You lost the building. You are looking for what comes next.

06

You don't know anymore

You used to be sure. Then life happened. The certainty did not survive.

The restlessness you feel is not a malfunction.
It is a signal.
From the Epilogue

About the Author

I almost walked out for good.

A pastor at our megachurch died on a mission trip. The grieving family came home. The Bible study gathered. The best answer offered was three words: "God took him."

I sat in that Bible study and almost lost my faith on the spot. Not because I had stopped believing. Because I could not square the God being described with any God worth following.

This book is what came of the next thirty years of refusing to settle for that answer.
