Synopsis

In the years since leaving local church ministry, I've devoted an enormous amount of time and resources to examining the church's often troubled witness, its ongoing crisis of leadership, and the epidemic of narcissism, abuse, and cover-up that has continued to emerge year after year. This book is about my journey both before and undergirding that work—the shattering of dreams and the grace that restored a broken faith in the aftermath. It's a story about grace leading me home when I thought all was lost.

Taken together, my encounters with Peter, Elijah, and Jesus connected to indelible images from my time in Israel and formed a new spiritual landscape in my mind, one with enough gravity to draw my feet back to solid ground. My hope is that as I tell this story you might find echoes of your own. I pray if you're in the wilderness, you might find that though the territory is a mystery, you are far from alone. Most of all, I pray that you rediscover that Jesus is chasing you like a lover . . . right through heaven's gates.

Goodreads review by Nathan B. on March 14, 2024

Goodreads review by Becca on April 10, 2024

Let me start by saying that my 3-star rating is in the minority of early reader reviews (and the lowest at the time of writing this review). So, feel free to take my review with a grain of salt. Land of My Sojourn is a memoir-like reflection of church planter Mike Cosper. He looks back on how the in......more

Goodreads review by Zachary T. on April 02, 2024

I don’t have words to describe how meaningful this book has been to me in this season. I’ve watched so many of my friends walk away from the Lord, and Cosper just gets it. This book is cathartic, grieve stricken wisdom. Best book I have read this year. Jenna will be happy to not have to deal with me......more

Goodreads review by Emily on April 17, 2025

I picked up this book because it sounded like it could be a response to what so many of us feel: betrayal by a U.S. church that has traded the teachings of Jesus for politics/power. I appreciate Cosper’s tone and humility, and he gets at some of this. I can understand his desire not to get into the......more

Goodreads review by Darlene on May 06, 2025

I was hesitant to read this, but at a friend’s recommendation I picked it up…. And didn’t put it down until I finished it. Beautifully written, it hurt and helped a lot. It gave me language for things I’ve been processing, not first and foremost about my time at Sojourn, but my own experience of los......more
