Review(s):
“I cannot overstate how liberating and transforming I have found Leaving Church to be.”
“This memoir [...] is full of surprises[...] In her renewal is our own.”

“A fiercely honest and gracious book about our primary vocation to be human.”
“Leaving Church is a canticle of praise to creator and creation.”

“A beautifully crafted memoir . . . . There is a refreshing honesty . . . a slice of courage in a world that too often refuses to admit its vulnerability. . . . Leaving Church does not bash the church. It is a love story about letting go and learning to live with the mystery of what may happen next.”
“...Taylor at her best, writing about congregational moments with such artistic grace and wit that we see them afresh”
“Even without the collar, Barbara Brown Taylor is one of our most important spiritual writers today.”
