Letting Go of God is a humorous monologue by Julia Sweeney chronicling her search for God. She begins in the Catholic Church, the religion her family raised her in, & takes a Bible study class. What she learns there leads her to new questions &, in her search for answers, she explores meditation, Buddhism & New Age gurus. She discovers that to accept the truth leads to surprising revelations.
