Maybe you'd like to, but you feel stuck. You're not alone-millions of people, especially men, are fleeing their churches or mentally checking out.
Ed Galisewski offers a witty, hard-hitting view from the pew as only a "Joe Palooka" from Jersey can. Galisewski pulls back the curtain on the divisive nature of denominationalism and spiritual abuse in many churches and encourages pastors and lay people alike to return to the simple gospel of faith
in a Creator, Savior, and Guide.
He says you might even need to take a temporary break from church while you heal and reconnect with God. But don't stay away-when you're ready,
reconnect with a faith community and bring a simpler faith back to the Church.
Ed Galisewski is a real life "Joe Palooka"-a big, good-natured guy. A men's ministry leader for fifteen years, Ed has ministered to literally thousands of people. He's been in and out (and in again) of church, learning to overcome his own struggles with the institution while still loving the body of Christ. Ed and his wife Lynette have two children, son Braun and daughter Bryn, and live in Littleton, Colorado.
