Introducing Unboxing God: Reclaiming Faith in a Post Church Culture
Reclaim Initiative is delighted to announce Tamara J Buchan’s new book, Unboxing God: Reclaiming Faith in a Post Church Culture, a moving story of her journey of unboxing God, along with the insightful discoveries she made along the way! - 3 Candelabras Board
Why did I write it?
Because it is time to tell the story of my journey out of the institutional church. Leaving the Church was a surprise to me because in the beginning it wasn’t my choice. But, as time went on, I realized that I had been given a wonderful gift because in the midst of it, God took down all my boxes and revealed himself to me as big, wild and wonderful.
I want to give you an advance preview so I will be sharing a few of Unboxing God’s chapters in coming weeks!
Check out the Introduction here:
Book sample:
I sat in the church service devastated. My life and ministry had just been tossed up into the air and were dramatically falling down, piece by piece. As the pastor began to pray, something strange happened. I saw a big refrigerator box in my mind, and then I sensed God say, “You’ve had Me in a box, and I want to remove your boxes.” Then, He took the box and began to rip the box apart, one side at a time. I didn’t realize it then, but this was the start to a wild, wonderful, and often confusing and disorienting ride of my faith.

Some felt stuck. Some were driven by a hunger to be connected to Jesus beyond anything they’d ever experienced. Some were dissatisfied, knowing the things that used to give them joy now fell flat. Some were desperate to see transformation in their lives and family. Some knew God had directed them to this very place and they needed to pay attention or they would miss something really important.
