The Deconstruction Diaries: Leaving Religion, Finding Jesus
One Woman's Journey from Religion to Relationship.
In her book, The Deconstruction Diaries, Miranda offers a unique perspective on life after religion. With a rare blend of raw honesty and vulnerability, she shares her doubts, fears, and revelations, providing a candid glimpse into the heart and mind of someone daring to seek God beyond the confines of tradition. She invites you to join her on this uncharted journey, where she navigates the complexities of life after religion.
The Deconstruction Diaries is not a guidebook for deconstruction but a comforting companion for those who are courageous enough to ask difficult questions and pursue truth at any cost. Through her story, Miranda extends a hand of solidarity to anyone feeling isolated in their spiritual journey. She reminds us that true faith is not about having all the answers but about placing our trust in the One who does.
If you're ready to trade religion for relationship and embark on a life-changing adventure with Jesus, The Deconstruction Diaries is your invitation to take the first step.

Hello, my friends and welcome SUMMER! I personally am quite happy as this time of year is my favorite. I am a solar-powered girl, and I look forward to summer every year. I hope you've all been enjoying it as well.
So, while I had no plans for it, I recently was inspired to put together a follow-up to "Deconstruction Diaries," and the project is now completed. It is called "Behind the Veil: A Journey from Religion to Spirituality." I am hoping that it will be ready and available by the beginning of August. I am very excited about this endeavor.
My writing has taken on a whole new life as I feel that I am really finding my voice, becoming my most authentic self. These last few years have been quite transformative for me, this year being no exception, as I am journeying into a season of genuine spirituality. It's exciting and liberating, to say the least, and this has only served to fuel my writing and creative endeavors. Let's just say that poetry is back on the table after a two-decade hiatus.
I hope you are all well and are taking joy in the beauty of this season. If you wish to be kept in the loop about my book releases, please sign up and subscribe below!
Blessings of awakening to Love and Self,
Miranda

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me, watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly. - Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)
