SPIRITUAL MISFIT : A Memoir of Uneasy Faith

A compelling narrative on the universal conflict between doubt and faith.

In this poignant and startlingly honest story, DeRusha details the loss of her Catholic faith, her eventual return to God, and her discovery that being a person of faith means living with unanswered questions. More and more Christians today struggle with how they define faith. They find themselves asking questions, searching for answers, and looking for a deeper, more genuine connection with God. DeRusha shares her own journey away from, then back to faith in a way that resonates for the long-time Christian, entrenched in the faith but now digging deeper and wrestling with questions, as well as for the person on the fringe who is flirting with belief and asking hard questions. Michelle DeRusha has published a number of articles and personal essays in both print and online media. She also writes a daily blog, Graceful: Faith in the Everyday--nebraskagraceful.blogspot.com. She lives in Nebraska.
