SCALES OFF

A book about following Jesus in a noisy world.

Across the country, countless believers are feeling the ache of disillusionment. They’ve watched fear and shame be used to keep people “in line,” seen churches excuse abuse and gaslight the wounded, and heard the name of Jesus invoked to prop up far-right politics and culture wars.

Many have walked away entirely. But others still hunger for the real Christ—the one who offers an easier burden and lighter yoke.

SCALES OFF is written for them.

This is not about abandoning faith; it’s about shedding the chains of fear to rediscover Jesus as He truly is—radically gracious and loving.
