What happens when faith stops fitting the life you've lived?

Joby has always been the good son. The faithful follower. The one who said “yes.” Yes to the beliefs he inherited. Yes to the church that raised him. Yes to the God he thought he knew. But now, with one envelope in hand and a church council demanding answers, Joby faces a spiritual reckoning that could exile him from everything—and everyone—he loves.

His path is marked by betrayal and deceit, fading hope and unexpected clarity. What begins as a crisis of belief becomes a reckoning of the soul, as Joby confronts the cold certainty of dogma with the messy warmth of his lived truth. To move forward, he’s compelled to unravel the weight of his father’s unshakable faith, the price of belonging to a community where doubt is treated as defiance, and the deeper call: to become a compass, not a cautionary tale, for his son, Eli.

Searing, soulful, and unflinchingly honest, Joby - From the Inside is a deeply personal exploration of faith under pressure. It’s a story about what happens when belief collides with lived experience—when you realize the answers you’ve been given can’t carry the weight of the life you’re living. For anyone who’s ever wrestled with doubt, felt the sting of spiritual exile, or longed to build a faith from the inside out—this book is for you.

A tender, defiant cry for spiritual authenticity, Joby—From the Inside reminds us that real faith isn’t inherited. It’s chosen. Often, at great cost.
