Faith in the Shadows

Apologetics

“For those of you acquainted with pain and doubt, Austin is definitely the pastor you need in your life! And for those of you who pretend so hard that you have no pain and doubt, Austin is definitely the pastor you need in your life! I live in both categories regularly, so I'm glad I got to feast on his wisdom for a few hundred pages while I read Faith in the Shadows. Austin gave me permission to think, to cry, and to be. And for that I am extremely grateful. Now is your turn to enjoy this beautiful collection of stories and invitations, reminders and experiences, Jesus and us. Enjoy.”

The Road Away from God

Christian Living

“This book feels like a walk in the woods with an encouraging friend. One of those walks you take after a delicious meal, where you’re walking but still carrying your wineglass. As you walk, you open up your heart to really listen, and your friend is brutally honest without being hurtful. And your friend tells you the truth about themselves, which is almost exactly the truth about yourself, and it sets you both free. Jonathan Martin took me on such a walk in The Road Away from God. His words, his stories, his journey are a true gift. And even though the book’s title might contradict this . . . while reading, I think I found Jesus again. I think you will too.”
