You described my most intimate thoughts about religion and, especially, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.I'm a retired pastor from the United Church of Christ, preceded by 20 years of serving as a mental health psychologist and in private practice. So, I feel your writing in my bones. I just told my wife that your efforts are a true match for my life experience.I share your understanding of Unconditional Love as a focus of my life. It IS the focus of every day and the reason I continue to serve and help others, but it "saved my life" to find the true meaning of why I am here. I've never experienced anything like it: being in Oneness with the Universe and surrounded by Unconditional love!I'm going to turn 77, and having read your book; I have a better and deeper understanding of many things that the Bible confused me with. Having been a shrink and a pastor, I appreciate your "debriefing" of why I was confused, as you put so much into perspective.Your rebuttals to Biblical "norms" gave me hope that someone else sees the religious ways as controlling, misogynistic, programming, and manipulative. Your research must have taken a ton of time and effort.I sense your truth as a real gift to the world. Your transparency really makes the book even more powerful and real. You are a gift, and your book proves it." ~Rev. Cal Kemper"If you’re questioning your faith, unsure which religion is the “right” religion, or simply looking for an accurate historical account of how Christianity got to where it is today, this book is for you. Sheri has taken a deep dive into explaining why something that was meant to be based on love, acceptance, and goodwill became warped and entangled with power, control, and abuse.Sheri explains this and more while allowing you into her own experience with heartfelt honesty and authenticity. We Have Ruined God is an eye-opening look and explanation for why we are where we are when it comes to religion, politics, and many other aspects of our culture. And it sets us up to continue our journey as human beings with better understanding, compassion, and integrity." ~ Amey Aubrey, author, L.Ac., Ph.D., Eastern Medicine
