Growing up in Christ Volume I: It's Relationship, Not Religion

By Mel Spears

Have you ever mistaken religion for relationship?

In Growing Up in Christ: It's Relationship, Not Religion, author Mel Holley takes readers on a raw, transparent, redemptive journey from confusion to clarity, and from rebellion to redemption. Through honest storytelling, personal testimony, and biblical reflection, she unveils how God transforms even the most broken paths into divine classrooms for spiritual maturity.

From childhood questions about faith to adult battles with deception, abuse, and false religion, this powerful memoir reveals how grace patiently pursues us until we surrender to truth. Each chapter offers space for self-reflection, inviting readers to confront their own spiritual growth, wrestle with doubt, and rediscover what it truly means to know Christ.

This is not a story about perfection, it's a testimony of transformation.

It's not religion.

It's relationship.
