# Do I Stay Christian?: A Guide for the Doubters, the Disappointed, and the Disillusioned - Hardcover

by **Brian D. McLaren** (Author)

**Dubbed "a heroic gate-crasher" by _New York Times_ bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Brian D. McLaren explores reasons to leave or stay within the church and if so how...**

"Brian's new book on remaining Christian knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of framing and naming the questions. I cannot stop reading it. Thank you, Brian!"  
\--Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, author of _The Universal Christ_

"Any thoughtful Christian has been asking the questions McLaren tackles here, but many of us are afraid to voice them aloud. In _Do I Stay Christian?_ we're gifted a gentle guide who opens ideas and voices the questions we cannot, naming our frustration, fear, and hesitant hope."  
\--Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, former Senior Minister, The Riverside Church; Founder, Invested Faith

_Do I Stay Christian?_ addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people--including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders--are asking in private. Picking up where _Faith After Doubt_ leaves off, _Do I Stay Christian?_ is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.

There is a way to say both _yes_ and _no_ to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from _whether we stay Christian_ to _how we stay human_. If _Do I Stay Christian?_ is the question you're asking--or if it's a question that someone you love is asking--this is the book you've been waiting for.
