Publisher's Synopsis
Over the years, Unitarian Universalist Rev. Dennis McCarty's "Thoughts from a Gentle Atheist" posts have found a devoted following on social media. In response to requests that he publish the entire collection-here they are, all in one place. Ranging from delightful to profound, they include tidbits of insight, poems, prayers, gathering and departing verses, enough smiles, tears, and "hmmm's" for any thoughtful (free thinking) reader. Every Unitarian Universalist minister will certainly want this collection, destined to be a well-thumbed classic on any minister's bookshelf. But its wisdom and deep feeling can also be accessible and inspiring for non-ministers and even non-Unitarian Universalists. This collection delves, in sensitive and profound ways, layers deep into the very stuff of life itself. Suitable as a gift for that special, thoughtful someone, or as a personal source of hope and inspiration, this book evokes the religious unity that can lie beneath religious language or specific religious belief. Or even non-belief.)
