Consider this the last church handbook you'll ever need!

How to Leave the Mormon Church is the indispensable guide for navigating your way out of the Mormon church. After losing your faith, your first thought was likely, "Now what?" Read this book for advice on:

1. Deciding whether or not to leave the church
2. Sharing your news with family and friends
3. Investigating new beliefs and frameworks
4. Protecting your mental health during the transition
5. Moving forward with purpose and intention
6. Ordering coffee and cocktails for the first time
7. Overcoming shame surrounding sex and sexuality
8. Dating outside the church
9. Examining and renegotiating political opinions
10. Leaving Mormonism AND Exmormonism behind

This is the comprehensive manual for completely-mentally, emotionally and physically-leaving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Praise for How to Leave the Mormon Church:

"How to Leave the Mormon Church is a book that was needed for years. It was a book that I wanted to write and tried to write but thankfully I don't have to write. Alyssa did an amazing job with this guide that will help so many folks to navigate what can often be a turbulent process and journey. Use the guardrails that Alyssa set up for you and you'll safely be on your way."
-Jeremy Runnells, Author of CES Letter

"I was struck by how thoroughly Alyssa addresses the hurdles faced by those who leave the church. Her encouraging voice will support you with each step along this unknown path. Her compassionate and informed writing approaches the sensitive subject of faith deconstruction with a style that is personal, thoughtful, direct, and fearless. This book is an essential companion for those who feel lost, alone, and confused once their Mormon shelf breaks. Frankly, it is the resource I so desperately needed in the days, months, and years after my own loss of faith."
-John Dehlin, Ph.D., Founder of and Host of Mormon Stories

"What many of us leaving the LDS Church are looking for is a friend. In her vulnerable storytelling and resource sharing, Alyssa brings that friendship to life. This book is a great sounding board to ask questions, access support and get curious about new and old beliefs. It's a great reminder that in what many consider to be one of the loneliest and disorienting chapters of their lives, you don't have to do it alone."
-Chelsea Homer, Founder of Faith Journey Meetups and Lost & Found Club
