Beyond An Absence of Faith: Stories About the Loss of Faith and the Discovery of Self by Jonathan M.S. Pearce

4.0

Everyone interested in religion should read this book. The stories come from a range of people with various backgrounds and exiting from various religions but predominantly Christianity. It is essential to hear these stories so that we understand their experiences. Atheists are often misunderstood and misrepresented by many Christians because they don't hear stories like these. Many Christians probably don't even know and atheist. The writing quality varies, but it doesn't matter. The stories are heartfelt, moving, and sometimes humorous. The book is not technical, theological, or complicated. They are straightforward, personal accounts. Don't miss reading this one.
