Description
God is not an idea. Christian faith is not a set of propositions you either believe or reject. According to a proper Trinitarian understanding, God is essentially relationship, a relationship of sheer, active, ecstatic, self-giving love.
This 51% Christian moniker is a ridiculous label with a deadly serious point. You now have permission to doubt, to question, to get angry at God. But, in the end, it’s not about you. Faith is about relationship: a living, daily relationship, based on trust, and active in concrete, daily practices.

Excerpt from the Afterword
We were getting caught up in the campaign of Christianity and losing the relationship . . .
"We were getting caught up in the campaign of Christianity and losing the relationship. And that's what you've seen in this book. Mark understands the shame and manipulation and hand-cuffing morality of the faith we were handed—the "smells like" culture Christians are always trying to shill to each other. He knows those sort of tactics are only a temporary fix. But he also understands the grace."
