Chris Highland, a freethinking former minister and chaplain, leads readers on a hike along his winding trail emerging from faith. Without being anti-religious, and seeking to be honest but not disrespectful, he uses analogies from the natural world to frame his exit from a supernatural worldview. Chapters include: Forests of Freethought; The Broken Cross; Surviving the Shipwreck; Toward a New Island; The Way of the Pathfinder; A Map to Heaven on Earth. The Afterword is his essay: Why I'm Not an Evangelical Atheist. The book concludes with a concise outline of his trail beyond tradition: Emergence: A Path Beyond Belief.Positive, hopeful, inviting, Highland offers a thoughtful "trail-mix" for readers who are still in the "forest of faith," those who are considering a way out, and those who are "pathfinders" in the wild and wonderful world of life after faith.
