About the Book

People are not leaving for the reasons we wish or claim. It’s not really because of politics or improper preaching. It’s not because of sins they want to commit or even a breakdown of traditional values. No, they’re leaving for all the reasons they tried to express—when no one in the church was listening.

Now we must listen. Because as dire as the condition of the church seems, it’s exponentially worse: there are exactly zero people outside the church who secretly want to get in, but scores of churchgoers sit with growing unspoken concerns…for now, until they join the thousands each week who quietly slip out the back door, never to return, and never to explain why.

About the Author

Jamin Coller is a seminary graduate and pastor’s kid who spent 30 years as a minister, worship pastor, Christian educator, and national speaker. Now, after several years deeply embedded in the ex-vangelical community, he consults with church leaders to bridge the gap and offer a more accurate look into the minds of those he calls “pre-former members.”

What Readers Are Saying

“I wish this was mandatory reading for every pastor!”

“Hauntingly accurate and devastatingly relatable…”

“I’ve never heard someone more opposed to the Christian institution and still rooting so hard for it as Jamin is…the church will either truly receive this message, or we are doomed.”

“Thank you for giving voice to us former members. I feel heard and seen.”
