NOT THAT WHEEL, JESUS! Stories from a Faith That Went Off-Road in the Best (and Worst) Possible Ways

Mary Katherine Backstrom narrates her short audiobook in an irresistibly authentic and warm tone. Backstrom reflects on her life as a so-called "elder millennial" who grew up in an conservative Christian environment. She discusses how, as she engaged more with the teachings of her faith, she found herself asking questions that weren't clearly answered--or were deflected entirely. Eventually, Backstrom left her church to seek new meaning in faith, finding a new, more supportive community along the way. Her approach to storytelling is personable and conversational; her tone is welcoming and open. Listeners who have struggled to find community in their religion may find Backstrom's personal journey validating. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
