Holy Rebellion
Holy Rebellion is the labyrinthine story of a woman raised in an American evangelical system who walks the winding path from stilted righteousness to being fully alive. Through meanders that take her from Paris to suburban Kenya, from self-condemnation to self-acceptance, she discovers the truth was the opposite of everything she had been taught.
For anyone who's been told they're anything less than lovable Holy Rebellion is a reminder that you are infinitely valuable, completely loved, and the indisputable ruler of your kingdom.

Praise for Holy Rebellion:
This is a precious testimony that love, not righteousness, is the key to our humanity. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the process of how good people get caught up in bad systems, and how we find our way out.
Clare Norman, Master Coach and Author of 'The Transformational Coach'
An exquistely written work of art. This is rebellion of the highest order.
Molly Davis Moon, Author of 'The Great All'
Holy Rebellion points beyond inherited beliefs and borrowed identities toward a Love vast enough to hold your questions, your grief, and your becoming. Holy Rebellion is a homecoming for anyone who dared to question systems that called themselves loving.

About the Author
Christi Byerly, MCC is the founder of Awaken Coach Institute. She lives in Alsace, France with her husband Ben, two cats, and lots of plants. She is delighted when her three adult children visit.
After moving away from the punitive evangelical system she was raised in, Christi discovered what she now teaches: Love itself is the foundation, the Path is trustworthy, and transformation happens in the midst of the mess.
For over a decade, she has trained hundreds of coaches. Through Awaken's ICF-accredited programs, she is building communities of grace - places where people learn to trust Love as the source, rather than their own performance.
If depth is calling, Love has already been holding you. Walk the labyrinth and see for yourself.
The Awaken Way is a free four-lesson journey that changes how you see yourself, your path, and what's possible.
Whether you're exploring coach training, seeking deeper personal work, or simply curious about what makes Awaken different, this is a genuine experience of our approach to transformation from the inside out.
