Songs of the Deconverted

A myriad of excellent authors have been joining ranks to help deconverted Christians make sense of their new-found identities. With “Songs of the Deconverted” Etchison adds to that phalanx with a fiction entry. <br /><br />The five short stories in “Songs of the Deconverted,” chronicle the story of Andy’s deconversion from Christianity, and how it changes his approach to life. Each of the five stories can stand alone, but together they create a character arch that provides a broad perspective on this burgeoning topic. The stories are sometimes brutal, and focus on raw experiences that shape a man’s psyche, especially that of a man whose entire worldview has been turned upside-down.<br /><br />Praise for “Songs of the Deconverted”:<br /><br />- The Ascent. “Love, love, love it. It gave me goosebumps and teary eyes.” –Savah<br />- Toil. "With issues of faith and doubt draping the background, and a Pink Floyd fueled shark hunt propelling us along, Jim Etchison's Toil treats us to a visceral and terse examination of the Wounded Animal lurking in the heart of men." - Benjamin Boyce at benartboy.wordpress.com<br />- Façades. “The attention to authenticity allow for the wilder elements of the story to really shine. … [This] will stick with you, promise.” –Naj<br /><br />"Etchison is profound without preaching. His examples from nature are perfectly placed and juxtaposed with the human story. Here's the thing with moral fiction, and let there be no doubt that what he's writing is moral fiction of a high order - it's easy to differentiate the contrived from the observed. Etchison observes without contrivance." – Stephen “Esses” Brown<br /><br />The Afterward is by Marlene Winell, PhD, author of Leaving the Fold.
