Religiously Transmitted Diseases: Finding a Cure When Faith Doesn't Feel Right

Religiously Transmitted Diseases by Ed Gungor is a Christian living book about the ways faith can become burdened by pressure, performance, guilt, and unrealistic expectations.

Gungor contrasts two approaches to spiritual life: one centred on human effort and constant striving, and another centred on the character and grace of God. He argues that when faith becomes focused on what people think they “should” or “must” do, it can leave them exhausted, discouraged, and feeling distant from God.

Instead, the book encourages readers to rediscover a faith rooted in trust, grace, freedom, and relationship rather than performance. Written in an accessible and practical style, it is a thoughtful choice for readers who feel spiritually worn down or are rethinking unhealthy religious expectations.
