Summary of Marlene Winell's Leaving the Fold

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Some things that happened in that church make more sense now, and some things I’m still sorting out. It takes a while. I’m scared because I think that I may never get better. But then I remember that other people have left that church and are doing great now.

#2 Leaving your religion is like the end of a marriage. The symptoms of separation are similar - grief, anger, guilt, depression, lowered self-esteem, and social isolation. But whereas help for divorced people is readily available, little if any assistance is available for you to leave your religion.

#3 When you are no longer certain of the truth of the church’s teachings, you may struggle with doubt and fear. You may try to get help from church leaders, but they may not want to hear your doubts.

#4 Leaving a religion can be a very confusing and emotional process. You are leaving your entire structure of reality behind, and you may feel like a naive child in an adult world. But the most positive benefit is freedom to be yourself.
