This is the final installment of Burn Those Books and we're talking about Julia Duin's book Quitting Church.  It's not a book that encourages people to leave church, but explores some reasons as to WHY people are leaving and WHAT to do about it.  I share some of my own story of pastoring churches as well the season my family is currently in in regards to church involvement.  Be sure to check out the What If Project Patreon page (** link below) and have an incredible week!
