In the face of faith-based ignorance and weak "progressive" religious movements Chris Highland presents a fresh path of liberation rooted in freethinking beyond the walls of theology. With a refreshing style of fearlessness and truthtelling, this unapologetic spiritual insurgent points to what he sees as the Achilles' heel of the Christian religion, nailed to a broken cross, and then offers surprisingly down-to-earth, positive and joyful alternatives. Now this longtime interfaith chaplain, teacher and former protestant minister presents his personal voyage out of Christianism (and theism) through incisive questions, thoughtful reasoning and anecdotes laced with a touch of wit and humor. He grounds his practice of "happy heresy" in his own compassionate counseling experience working with homeless folk, prisoners and people with broken bodies and minds, as well as his many years exploring religion, philosophy, Nature and the most troubling fractures of faith.
