God vs The Consumer: How We Shop for Church, Return It, and Sometimes Walk Away with Something Real

We don’t just go to church anymore. We shop for it.

In God v. the Consumer, Kyle Smith McGowan explores what happens when faith collides with preference, when worship becomes a product, and when the line between devotion and demand quietly disappears.

Blending personal story with cultural critique, this unflinching reflection asks a disruptive question:
Have we shaped God in our image—or have we reshaped Him in the image of the marketplace?

This is not a call to abandon church. It is a call to examine the heart. To untangle habit from hunger. Performance from presence. Consumer comfort from spiritual surrender.

Honest. Personal. Provocative.

This book invites you to reconsider who is actually on the throne —
and to decide whether it is the experience you prefer, or the God you profess, that ultimately matters most.
