Setting God Free is the bestselling book by Father Seán ÓLaoire that helps readers understand who “God” is.

★ How do we know what we know?
★ How do we decide what is true?

While agnostics are still deciding whether God exists, atheists subscribe to a system of beliefs that claim God does not exist. Many traditionally religious people appear to have abandoned common sense and accept somebody else’s farfetched image of God. Chances are that your beliefs are none of these things. They are likely more complex, nuanced, evolved, and evolving.

If you’re Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, maybe you’ve secretly doubted your ability to will yourself to “love the Lord your God with all your mind, with all your heart, and with all your strength” as an act of obedience. Perhaps your religious roots lie outside the Abrahamic storyline, or they’re less defined in terms of tradition. It doesn’t matter where you’ve come from or where you’re going; we all face the same challenges as we attempt to understand who “God” is and how we’re supposed to love someone or something we can’t see.

In Setting God Free, Seán ÓLaoire explores “the difficult passages” of the Bible, giving readers access to a sound logic built not only on scripture, but also on science, psychology, spirituality, and personal experience. Set God free to do what God does best: love.
