Publisher's Synopsis
As we face struggles and challenges, religion can often be a source of comfort. But the heretic-one who challenges conventional religion as most of us know it-warns against becoming religiously codependent and blindly accepting tenets like "Everything happens for a reason" and "This is in God's hands". And the "happy" heretic will do so in a way that allows us to feel alive, empowered, and still true to who we are. The Happy Heretic turns traditional thinking and spirituality on its head. This thought-provoking read clearly explains the core issues of religious codependency by giving examples from our everyday lives and sets the stage for creating a new understanding of our relationship with God. It presents readers with an opportunity to rethink their religious beliefs-even the prayers they grew up with-to form a deeper, more spiritual understanding of who they are and form a healthy partnership with God.
