When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over

In the strange, us-versus-them Christian subculture of the 1990s, a personâ€™s faith was measured by how many WWJD bracelets she wore and whether he had kissed dating goodbye.
Â
Evangelical poster child Addie Zierman woreÂ threeÂ bracelets asking what Jesus would do. She also led two Bible studies and listened exclusively to Christian music. She was on fire for God and unaware that the flame was dwindlingâ€”until it burned out.
Â
Addie chronicles her journey through church culture and first love, and her entranceâ€”unprepared and angryâ€”into marriage. When she drops out of church and very nearly her marriage as well, it is on a sea of tequila and depression. She isnâ€™t sure if sheâ€™ll ever go back.
Â
When We Were on FireÂ is a funny, heartbreaking story of untangling oneself from what is expected to arrive at faith that is not bound by tradition or current church fashion. Addie looks for what lasts when nothing else seems worth keeping. Itâ€™s a story for doubters, cynics, and anyone who has felt alone in church.
