Download When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over AudioBook Free

In the bizarre us-versus-them world of the '90s Christian subculture, your beliefs was assessed by how many WWJD bracelets you used and whether or not you'd "kissed dating good-bye". Evangelical poster child Addie Zierman used three WWJD bracelets, led two Bible studies, and listened solely to Christian rock and roll. She was "on fire for God", unaware that the fire of her beliefs was dwindling until it burnt entirely out. With candor and transparency, Addie chronicles her voyage through chapel culture, first love, and her entry - unprepared and furious - into relationship. When she washes out of chapel and almost her marriage on the sea of tequila and despair, she isn't sure if she'll ever go back. When We Were on Open fire is a funny, heartbreaking tale of untangling oneself from cliché searching for a faith value embracing. It's a story for anyone that has ever felt exclusively in a congested chapel. For the cynic. The doubter. The past Jesus freak struggling with the difficulty of life. It's a story about the poor work of time for love, Jesus, and (perhaps toughest of all) his imperfect supporters. And in the long run, it's in what lasts when little or nothing else seems well worth keeping.
