Description
Life after Faith is the seventh book by Chris Highland, a former Presbyterian Minister. Life after Faith presents his personal voyage out of Christianism (and theism) through incisive questions, thoughtful reasoning and anecdotes laced with a touch of wit and humor. He grounds his practice of "happy heresy" in his own compassionate counseling experience working with homeless folk, prisoners and people with broken bodies and minds, as well as his many years exploring religion, philosophy, Nature and the most troubling fractures of faith. Illustrated with Chris' black and white photographs, the book includes nine appendices and nearly 300 endnotes. Life after Faith is also available electronically on Kindle.
