Description:

However you define it, deconstruction is impossible to deny. Ian Harber knows the fear and grief of deconstruction firsthand. Here, he tells the story of his own process of deconstruction and reconstruction over ten years and lays out a vision for a faith environment that can foster genuine reconstruction through healthy relationships.

Review Quotes:

"Biblical scholar Michelle Keener has taken up the book of Job and made it sing. And the song it sings, in the hands of this trauma survivor, is surprising and tender. It is a song of grief and loss expressed, of friendship that succeeds and fails, of a shattered world painfully reconstructed. Above all, this book sings of a Scripture that is sensitive to survivors of trauma, and a God who meets them in the ashes."

Helen Paynter, executive director of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence
