As a child, Amy Mercer never dreamed of living a life
riddled by addiction and utter despair.
She never imagined finding herself in defiant rebellion against God
Himself. But by her teenage years, she was on a collision course tainted with destructive
living – struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, and extreme clinical
depression – looking for answers in same-sex relationships and in the occult. By
her early twenties, her journey had accelerated into a mad dash toward insanity
followed by a close call with death.
What would it take to reconnect with the land of the living?
In today’s world, counterfeits to freedom are readily
delivered in a variety of enticing packages, promising peace in the midst of
pain—freedom in the midst of fear—meaning in the midst of cynicism. But can the offerings of our current culture satisfy
the longing of our hearts?
Losing My Religion
is about what happens when we veer from the good
kind of religion (acknowledgement of the divine or sacred); it is also about
the liberation in walking away from the bad
kind of religion (the ritualistic act of trying to win God’s approval in our
own strength).
Losing my Religion
is about finding out what really matters.
