In this vulnerable and piercingly honest memoir, Hockman traces the years of navigating a rigid Church of Christ community, where salvation came with formulas, friendship required conformity, and shame often arrived dressed as holiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom playground blackmail to Sunday school guilt, from repeated bullying to a desperate desire for connection, David's formative years were marked by a quiet ache to belong to his peers, to his family, to God. He shares the story of a young man with two versions of himself: one that performed well at church and home, and one who felt like an outsider everywhere else. That young man would grow into a successful surgeon who continued to suffer the mental, emotional, and spiritual damage of religious legalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith raw recollection and poetic reflection, David's story dares to ask the harder questions about faith, fear, and the kind of love that might exist beyond performance. It's a story for anyone who has ever felt they had to earn love in church, at home, or within themselves, and is still looking for the freedom to simply be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hockman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798891657311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Streamline Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"David Hockman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658821742847,"sku":"9798891657311","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surgeon-unmasked-david-hockman-9798891657311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
