Nick Vleisides 
Used to Go to Church [EPUB ebook] 
Rethinking God on the Frontline of Life’s Tragedies

Life can often be brutal, unjust, and fraught with emotional trauma. As a first responder chaplain for over 23 years, Nick Vleisides has experienced countless scenes of unbearable grief and pain. When asking the brokenhearted, ‘Do you have a faith to help you through?’ the response in some form is almost always, ‘Well, we used to go to church.’ 

Blending first-hand accounts of tragedy with opportunity for raw self-examination and reflection, Vleisides delves into the realm of spirituality and belief amid loss and despair. For the ‘spiritual but not religious, ‘ who want to pursue God outside the walls of organized religion, Used to Go to Church is an invitation to rethink faith and open up to a life centered on grace, mercy, and love.
