This is not a reactive fundamentalist diatribe against deconstruction. On the contrary, this book deconstructs deconstructionism, offering a blood and guts defence of orthodoxy. Yet, at the same time, it is a heart-wrenchingly honest account from someone who deconstructed and returned to tell the tale. This lived experience ensures that this book is a compassionate guide for those wrestling with their faith and how it has been warped by the American culture, dented by doubt, and hurt by hypocrisy.--Mark Sayers, Senior leader of Red Church, Melbourne, Australia (11/5/2022 12:00:00 AM) Deliciously dark, blisteringly honest, and funny... Like the best art, this book will provoke, not placate, riffle your feathers, not soothe them, work you up, not calm you down.--John Mark Comer, New York Times bestselling author (11/3/2002 12:00:00 AM) Josh Porter is a deeply thoughtful, highly intelligent storyteller who's mastered the art of writing from his bones more than his head. He writes as one who lived in the terrain he walks the reader through, navigating the treacherous journey from deconstruction to faithfulness like a trail guide who knows the land. In Death to Deconstruction, he weaves poetic prose, page-turning personal narrative, and deliberate insight into a prophetic call to faithfulness.--Tyler Staton, author of Searching for Enough (11/5/2022 12:00:00 AM) One thing we need a lot more of in our current moment is wise, thoughtful, and pastoral voices stepping into the main conversations we are all having. Josh is one of those guys and this book is that conversation. I can see myself buying ten of these and giving them to my entire circle of close friends. It's that good.--Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author of To Hell with the Hustle (11/3/2022 12:00:00 AM) There is much being written on deconstruction these days but the vast majority is coming from the outside looking in written by observers and spectators rather than those who have lived among the rubble of deconstruction. Josh writes as an insider, a wrestler with God, church, life, all of it--which makes his voice not just unique but credible. If you're going on a journey through your own deconstruction you need a credible guide. You will identify with Josh's frustrations and be challenged by some narrow paths he recommends but he will lead you to the real Jesus who is more radical, more rebellious, more tolerant and unwavering than popular podcast personalities dare to have you believe. If you want Jesus and not an off-ramp from faith, read this book.--Rick McKinley, author of Faith for This Moment (11/3/2022 12:00:00 AM)
