I write for people who are about to lose their faith. I write for the fallen. I write to shake the rigor mortis religious by their shoulders. I revisit my darkest days to find those who are still there, then I show them how to get out. The scripture is a lot more scandalous than you’re used to hearing. I’ll tell you what I see. I’ll write from the depths of me.

Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God. -1 Peter 1:18-21
