Freedom From God

Thinking Aloud Allowed! Thinking about God went into a black hole in the '60s with "God Is Dead." Fundamentalism doesn't count, because there's no thinking there. Here's a book that goes all the way into that black hole and comes out the far end -- into liberation. This challenge is for persons who can read and like to think, and can still sense wonder. The fresh air is wonderful!
A study in candor, a philosophical broadside of profound importance, a guide to personal liberation, an invitation to wonder - a book that links truth-seekers and truth-tellers. "Freedom From God" is the product of a lifetime of thinking and reading. For eight years Willson was a card-carrying "Master of Divinity," serving as missionary/pastor in New Mexico. Then he left the church in sorrow and anger over its failure to speak out against the Vietnam War. He taught high school for ten years, then quit teaching "to write," and entered what he came to call "the real world," thinking all the while. Eventually Willson decided that the word "God" was too contaminated to be useful, but found he experienced wonder, more than ever.
