Primetime: Believing Again: Stories of Leaving and Returning to Faith

While social scientists have long documented the numbers of those leaving the church and abandoning faith in God, the stories of those who return to the church remain largely unexplored. This book shifts the focus from why people leave to why they come back, moving beyond statistics to listen to the personal stories of those who once made a conscious break from their religious convictions and practice.

Listening to these stories reveals recurring patterns where the reasons for returning often mirror the reasons for leaving. Ultimately, these journeys suggest that despite the initial departure, the common thread in every return is a personal experience of God’s relentless love.
