By Mike Cosper

WHO: Mike Cosper, director of podcasting for Christianity Today and founder of Sojourn Music. 

HE SAYS: “Under the noise of storms and heat of fires was the whisper of God, and that in the distance beyond us is always a remnant.”     

THE BIG IDEA: This book shares the author’s personal experiences with the church’s current ongoing crisis of leadership, narcissism, abuse and cover up, and God’s compassionate grace.

THE PROGRESSION: In nine chapters, the author takes readers through his personal experience leaving the local church ministry and discovering that God can restore a broken faith after dreams are shattered.

“There’s something about grief, suffering and disorientation that allows us to see and experience grace in ways we never could have before.”
