Fact: Thousands of people exist in a spiritual vacuum once they left formal religion.
The above fact encouraged me to share my spiritual and psychological growth in a memoir. It is my belief, supported by numerous studies, that a vast number of people have drifted from a sense of spirituality due, in many cases, to their experience with formal religion. Through a memoir genre, I reveal I am an example of that truth. I want the reader to share in my growth from the rigidity of formal religion to a new and more vibrant sense of what spirituality means. Rather than be confined by these institutions and left in a spiritual vacuum, we can celebrate the joy that the Kingdom of God is within us all.
