My Beautiful Mess: 10th Anniversary Edition

By Jeremy Mark Ritch

Ten years ago, author Jeremy Mark Ritch was a pastor of a small ministry in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. He wrote a memoir about his faith journey that spoke of his struggles to find acceptance in the church, his various ministry experiences and his thoughts on how to better the church. In 2012 Jeremy walked away from the Christian faith and has come to a place he calls Hopeful Agnosticism, which basically means he still hopes the loving god he tried to find in Christianity might still exist but he has too much doubt to claim the faith any longer. The book has been kept in it's original form, with a new foreword and afterword by Ritch, updating readers on where he is now in his life. The motive for this release was to commemorate the decade that past but also be transparent about where life has taken him. Jeremy feels that despite his lack of faith this book does tell a large part of his story, one that may no longer resemble this, but in some way he is hopeful it could still be of benefit to someone. This is a christian book but is also a story of a messy life that could resonate with anyone.
