Beyond an Absence of Faith : Stories About the Loss of Faith and the Discovery of Self

Leaving one's religion behind, walking away from faith, is never an easy journey. With family, friends, jobs, and every aspect of one's life to consider, the decision is not to be taken lightly. This anthology is made up of sixteen fascinating, and at times moving, accounts of such decisions, and the consequences they entail. Whether it be Christianity, Islam or any other life-impacting worldview, leaving it can be a difficult ordeal. This collection details the trials and tribulations, the joy and liberation involved, by people from various walks of life and corners of the globe. Heartfelt, it offers hope to those equally questioning, and understanding to those who themselves question the motivations of these often brave people.
