No better leader, no better example, no better friend are words to describe Paul Leonard and his incredible drive to serve others. This book is a well-told story of a life well-lived, reminding those of us in the church to be church outside the church. Here Leonard gives an account of his half-century-plus involvment with church, from a student at Davidson College, to pastoring, to post-church disillusionment, revealing the source of his incredible drive to serve others.

His description of his long, sincere, and intense search for a church to accommodate his deep faith and call to service is profoundly unsettling and would be valuable reading for every religious leader and anyone else who cares about the future of organized religion.
