God After Deconstruction

By: Thomas Jay Oord, Tripp Fuller

Narrated by: Thomas Jay Oord

Deconstruction is hard!

Bad views of God and harmful experiences lead many of us to deconstruct. But were right to run from the nonsense we've been taught and from those who hurt us.

God After Deconstruction is not a book for people who want the status quo or who think conventional theology works. It isn't for people who just want to tweak a bit what they've been taught.

Thomas Jay Oord and Tripp Fuller offer an open and relational vision of God. This vision makes sense; it fits our experience; it's livable. The open and relational view aligns with our deep intuitions about love and freedom.

God After Deconstruction is for those deconstructing and those wanting help after deconstruction. It's for people in the fire and those with scars.

God After Deconstruction is an adventure for lovers in tumultuous times!

Be Still & Know That I Am God..This book is a perfect example of why God said this!!

I will only write two things and if one does not understand this in its entirety… a diligent effort to do so is absolutely critical for spiritual growth..Here id a phrase I have coined.. Ready..
“The complexity of the human mind suppresses the raw simplicity of the divine soul..”

And far more important than the words you just read are directly said by Christ Jesus and one must learn what this means to its directness and boldness it carries.. it is the first commandment that Jesus Proclaimed.. If you love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind.. (paraphrasing) .. then these things discussed in this audio book will be not be at the forefront of the mind.. Why?? That is the big question.. You must find that answer. We will all see Jesus The Christ very soon my friends.. You can explain to him how you feel then.. We will see who has the last say and who asks the questions then .. Until then .. The journey is on you .. Find what is the reality of our true disposition. Remember.. The complexity of the Human mind… The understanding of this is the kicker .. Godspeed .. Be Still.. Submit to God.. And listen

Jordan Peterson’s ‘We Who Wrestle With God’ hits the mark. This does not.

I’ve never left a bad book review in my life. Most books have at least a kernel of truth, or a nugget of wisdom that you can take away from them.
Although the premise of this book is supposedly about God, specifically after deconstruction, it is really a treatise on why we should reject the God of the Bible, based on personal testimony of scientists, seekers, and others.
It doesn’t give scientific evidence for or against God, just a scientists viewpoint.
Same with those who converted to other religions.
In short, although the book supposedly covers many facets of deconstruction, and why people deconstruct, it doesn’t treat the argument equitably, but rather seems to be a book written to tell people why they should deconstruct their faith.
The title implies a level of reconstruction. God. After deconstruction. I didn’t perceive the authors attempting to reconstruct God for those who deconstructed.
I can’t see how this book would be useful to anyone, unless they’re looking for justification for leaving their faith, or restructuring God into their own image.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a book to help you justify your decision to turn your back on God, this is it. If you’re looking for something that will help with reconstruction after deconstruction, this book does not offer insight.
