Jason Stellman's Misfit Faith: Confessions of a Drunk Ex-Pastor is not nearly the book I expected. It's so much better! Amazing, even.
Misfit Faith is Stellman's account of his own faith journey -- he begins the book as a Presbyterian pastor, but he became a Roman Catholic. So I expected the book to be filled, at that point, with a Catholic apologetic. There's nothing here about Peter as the first pope, or any criticism of Protestant theological principles.
As soon as I read Stellman beginning to flirt with universalism, this book took an entirely different frame.
Misfit Fit is a thoughtful theological reflection on one life, a reflection that will echo certain features of so many other lives. I know it did mine.
I received a free copy of this book as part of the Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review here.
