An Exhausted Faith: What If the Struggle Isn't Spiritual?

I am thrilled to share the book cover for An Exhausted Faith!

This cover, designed by Kay McConnaughey (who has created all four of my previous book covers) embodies the comforting tone of this book.

Endorsements are coming in—this was the first one!

An Exhausted Faith: What if the Struggle Isn’t Spiritual? offers something rare and vastly needed: a compassionate, scientifically grounded reimagining of faith that honors both the human nervous system and the spiritual longing for connection. With clarity and courage, it names what many have quietly experienced—how faith, when intertwined with shame, can become exhausting rather than life-giving.

I have long admired Janyne’s work. She writes with vulnerability and a deeply brave and nurturing spirit, bringing authenticity to every page.

Janyne gently yet boldly reframes what is often labeled as spiritual failure, revealing how many struggles are rooted in a dysregulated nervous system, frequently shaped by early and sometimes harmful religious experiences. This insight is not only clinically sound; it is profoundly liberating.

This book helps us understand that science and spirituality are not at odds, but beautifully interconnected. The invitation is not to try harder, but to experience safety, regulation, and relationship, within ourselves and with God.

I am honored to endorse this timely and important work. It offers real hope and a meaningful path toward peace, integration, and wholeness.
