Through A Glass Darkly: Losing Religion and Rediscovering the Sacred

By: Ballard, Todd Andrew

Through A Glass Darkly is the story of a life shaped by faith, fractured by religion, and rebuilt through truth.
Raised inside the American church, Todd Andrew Ballard devoted more than twenty years of his lift to the American church--as a believer, volunteer, and educator working withing Christian institutions. But when the faith that once gave his life meaning ultimately cost him his career, Ballard was forced to confront a question millions of people quietly wrestle with:
What happens when the beliefs that shaped your life begin to fall apart?
In this deeply personal memoir of spiritual deconstruction and rediscovery, Ballard explores the painful process of losing religion while searching for something deeper and more enduring than dogma.
Drawing from philosophy, world religions, literature, and personal experience, Through A Glass Darkly, traces a journey beyond institutional belief toward a broader understanding of spirituality, compassion, and the universal search for meaning.
This is not a story about abandoning faith. It is a story about reclaiming it.
For readers who have questioned religion, struggled with belief, or searched for a more authentic spiritual path, Through A Glass Darkly offers a message of healing, courage, and hope.
