ForeWord Review - From Pastor to Atheist

From Pastor to Atheist (Cover)

In this revealing look at a former Lutheran minister’s ordeal with the church, Cartford asserts that eternal life is not for a privileged few, but the destiny for everyone. Religion, he believes, promotes the god it creates, instills fear, divides people, and controls behavior. Though he professes himself to be an atheist, what he really seeks is not a void, but an alternative world filled with peace, beauty, and openness. Centered on inherent spirituality, he asserts that truth is known through reason, not revelation.
