Description

Have you ever had doubts about the religion you were born into? Did you ever ask if you simply had to accept everything you were told, even if it did not make sense to you? If so, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You, in fact, may be about to join the fastest growing group of humans. In this book I describe my journey, from starting to doubt the faith of my family and community, to questioning everything when no proof or evidence was available, to arriving at a belief system that gave me comfort, answered my questions, and helped me raise my children. At the beginning I thought I was all alone and perhaps something was wrong with me. This book is designed to help others who are on a similar journey get to their destinations. I hope you will join me on my discovery trip. "You Are Not Alone" is meant to be inspirational and reassuring for all who have started such a journey of inquiry no matter what stage they are in or what cultural background they come from. This is a book to be translated into many languages as people from many backgrounds tend to ask the same questions and travel the same journey.
