Letters from a Skeptic review
Letters from a Skeptic by Gregory A. Boyd
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was incredibly helpful to me during my faith deconstruction, long before I even had the language to call it that.

I have so many underlines in my copy, I can’t possibly get rid of it. Which is a very good thing.
