In the strange us-versus-them world of the '90s Christian subculture, yourfaith was measured by how many WWJD bracelets you wore and whether or t you d kissed dating goodbye. Evangelical poster-child Addie Zierman wore three WWJD bracelets, led two Biblestudies, and listened exclusively to Christian rock. She was on fire for God, unaware thatthe flame of her faith was dwindling until it burned entirely out.With candor and transparency, Addie chronicles her journey through church culture, first love, and herentrance unprepared and angry into marriage. When she washes out of church and nearly her marriageon a sea of tequila and depression, she isn t sure if she ll ever go back.When We Were on Fire is a funny, heartbreaking story of untangling oneself from cliche in search of afaith worth embracing. It s a story for anyone who has ever felt alone in a crowded church. For the cynic.The doubter. The former Jesus freak struggling with the complexity of life.It s a story about the slow work of returning to love, Jesus, and (perhaps toughest of all) His imperfectfollowers. And in the end, it s about what lasts when thing else seems worth keeping.
