My Books
On this blog, I prattle on about a variety of juicy topics. But beyond this site, I’ve also written a few books in the faith and spirituality genre. Even if their content may not be a fit for all of you who visit, know you’re welcome to participate here–regardless of background or religious belief.
Whoever you are and wherever you came from, I welcome you as a friend. And I hope you’ll find something to love somewhere here in my mess.
(Below are the descriptions of my books in all their official back-cover copy glory.)
My Books
Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life’s Weeds is a warm and witty memoir about coming to religion through the front door. In it, Sarah Cunningham, a moderate middle-class white girl who grew up in the Michigan countryside, speaks about God with humor and honesty more characteristic of liberal west-coast writers. Find out more here.
Inciting Incidents are events in a film that push the main character’s story forward. This collaboration, curated by Sarah, combines the stories of 6 influencers whose defining moments will inspire readers to move forward with their own visions as well. Contributors include Jeff Goins, Blaine Hogan, David Wenzel, Tracee Persiko, Mandy Thompson and David Hickman. Find out more here.
Dear Church:Letters From a Disillusioned Generation is a series of letters from a twenty-something who isn’t sure she wants to be part of the institutional church anymore. Ultimately, the book explores frustration with organized religion and points the way to life beyond disillusionment.Find out more here.
Coming Soon
I have several book projects in the works which will be released in 2013. Watch for:
- A resource that combines stories and practical exercises to help churches build relationships with their surrounding communities (Abingdon, Spring 2013)
- An exciting new edition of Dear Church with expanded resources and interviews (Zondervan, Spring 2013)
- A field guide for world-changers (Moody, Fall 2013)
Other Books
Here are a few books I’ve contributed to:
- unChristian: What a New Generation Thinks About Christianity…And Why It Matters
- The Mosaic Bible
- Out of the Ooze:Unlikely Love Letters from Beyond the Church
Starting in November of 2013, you can also find excerpts, free resources and other scribblings from Sarah here. Or if you’re a writer looking for some support, you can check this out.

Hi Sara,
I’ve found great information in your website.
I’ll keep trying to write my book. I’ve many objections in my life to get it done, and right now I just feel frustrated and depressed. Sorry to write this, just wanted to shared with somebody.
Best regards Sara,
Claudia
