Behind the Veil: A Journey From Religion to Spirituality
In her first book, "The Deconstruction Diaries: Leaving Religion, Finding Jesus," Miranda brought you along on her personal journey of deconstructing her Christian faith. Taken directly from the pages of her journals, she discloses her innermost thoughts and doubts, her struggles, her realizations and revelations, not just about God, church, and religion, but also about herself.
"Behind the Veil: A Journey From Religion to Spirituality" is the continuation of that process as she chronicles the perpetual unraveling of all that she once believed to be true. With brutal honesty and the heart of a poet, she pours her soul from pen to paper, revealing her angst, anger, grief, and joy. Along the way, she reclaims her self, finds her voice, and gains a genuine spirituality as a well as a true sense of purpose.If you are:
- Questioning your faith- Harboring doubts about the doctrines and dogmas of religion/Christianity
- Feeling as if there is something missing from your spiritual life
- Convinced that there is more to be had than just going to church, reading the bible, praying empty prayers...

Hello, my friends! Happy Spring! It's a time for the earth wake from it's slumber, a time for new beginnings, for nature to come out of hibernation.
I know that it has been a very long time since I have been here to make any announcements or updates - and truthfully I have been hibernating myself.
The last 5 years have been a very intense time of change and transformation for me. The past 9 months have had it's fair share of intensity as the metamorphosis neared it's completion. The wrestling in my chrysalis has finally come to an end and I can honestly say I feel like the best version of myself at this moment.
During this time, my creative endeavors were put on the back burner, however, I'm now getting back into creative mode. I'm recording videos again and I am currently putting together an anthology of poetry and prose. My fiction work will be picked back up when I feel the time is right.
I hope you are all well and enjoying this new season - of life, of self. Until next time...
Miranda
