Resumen del Editor

What If Deconstructing Your Faith Isn’t a Phase but a Holy Process?

There’s probably a really good reason you picked up this book. Are you desperate to be in relationship with family or friends who are questioning their faith? Are you experiencing your own deconstruction of faith?

Here is your invitation to rethink everything you thought you knew.

In this process, you’ll . . .

• learn why it’s important to deconstruct (and how we are wired to do it);
• define deconstruction and deconversion―what they really mean;
• consider WWJD (What Would Jesus Deconstruct?); and
• apply the FUSE method to deconstruct for yourself.

Deconstruct Faith, Discover Jesus will help you to enter the mindset of a deconstructionist. A worldview with a high capacity for paradoxes. A mental space that outweighs your self-interest in being right. A tendency to see Christian beliefs as inseparable from Christian ethics.

In doing so, you will find the original deconstructionist, Jesus, right beside you.

Journey of Deconstruction and Rediscovery

Preston Ulmer's book, "Deconstruct Faith. Discover Jesus," offers a refreshing perspective on the often misunderstood concept of deconstruction within the realm of faith. Ulmer's main thesis revolves around the idea that deconstruction can lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Jesus, ultimately fostering richer connections with others.

One of the book's strengths lies in Ulmer's adept use of personal stories, biblical narratives, and historical anecdotes, such as the compelling tale of Martin Luther. Through these narratives, Ulmer effectively supports his claims and encourages readers to not get “hung up on disagreements” focusing instead on the one who was "hung up for us."

Ulmer's practical explanations on the need to deconstruct religion are compelling. He highlights how, over time, we have constructed systems and traditions around Jesus that no longer resemble His essence of love, compassion, and authenticity. Despite the negative connotations associated with the term "deconstruction," Ulmer emphasizes that it is an essential part of every follower's journey towards a deeper relationship with Jesus.

The writing style employed by Ulmer creates an engaging and relatable reading experience. It feels as though you are having a genuine conversation with the author, which further enhances the book's impact. Whether you have personally experienced the process of deconstruction or find the concept unsettling, Ulmer's book is perfect for those who have left the faith and those who may be apprehensive or even angered by the idea of deconstruction.

"Deconstruct Faith. Discover Jesus" is highly recommended for all followers of Jesus, as it prompts readers to approach the book with an open heart and a willingness to engage with the challenging aspects of faith. It serves as a timely reminder that we are surrounded by individuals who are leaving the faith due to our reluctance to engage in difficult conversations.

Preston Ulmer's book is a thought-provoking exploration of deconstruction, offering valuable insights and guidance for those seeking a deeper connection with Jesus. "Deconstruct Faith. Discover Jesus" invites readers to embrace the process of deconstruction with the hope of rediscovering the true essence of Jesus' teachings and fostering more meaningful relationships with both Him and others.
