What Readers Are Saying

Before One God has resonated with readers questioning Christianity, exploring faith deconstruction, and simply curious about where it all began.

I have read a lot of books like this, and none of them were as clear as this. It didn’t tell me what to believe; it just showed me the evidence and let me think for myself. Truly interesting.

Sarah M., Reader

5.0/4.5

This book has all those questions in which I had been sitting and thinking but never had the courage to say out loud. It felt less like reading a book but more like finally coming to reality

David Brown 

5.0/4.5

As someone in the middle of my own faith deconstruction, this was exactly the book I needed. Thorough, honest, and never preachy about it.
