About the Author
Dan Barker, a former fundamentalist minister and Christian songwriter, is now Public Relations Director for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc., in Madison Wisconsin. He has also written Just Pretend: A Freethought Book For Children (FFRF, Inc.), Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide For Young Skeptics (Prometheus Books), and Maybe Right, Maybe Wrong: A Guide For Young Thinkers (Prometheus Books).
From the Back Cover
Losing Faith In Faith records Dan Barker's dramatic journey form devout soul-winner to one of America's most prominent freethinkers. After 19 years of preaching following his "calling" at age 15--including work as a missionary, ordained minister, associate pastor, touring evangelist, Christian songwriter and performer--Dan Barker "lost faith in faith." Today Barker, Public Relations Director of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc., frequently represents freethought on the talkshow circuit and at personal appearances around the country. In Losing Faith In Faith, Barker explains why he left the ministry. He also offers a definitive, compelling analysis of why he rejects belief in a god and the claims of religion. He explores the fallacies, inconsistencies, and harm of Christian doctrine and theistic dogma. In its place, he issues an appealing and compassionate invocation of freethought, reason, and humanism. Losing Faith in Faith is both a challenge to believers and an arsenal for skeptics.
