She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she'd been raised to accept so completely. \u003ci\u003eNot That Wheel, Jesus!\u003c\/i\u003e is Mary Katherine's hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials (\"it was my heresy era\"), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined sort faith.\u2028 \u003cbr\u003e It's the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a spirituality that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Katherine Backstrom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1546004181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781546004189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Worthy Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Mary Katherine Backstrom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489457623295,"sku":"9781546004189","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b6d1625-946f-4c70-8290-1fadfecb6525.jpg?v=1736953609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-that-wheel-jesus-mary-katherine-backstrom-9781546004189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
