Publisher Description
Every thinking person wants to lead a life of meaning and purpose. For thousands of years, holy books have told us that such a life is available only through obedience and submission to some higher power. Today, the faithful keep popular devotionals and tracts within easy reach on bedside tables and mobile devices, all communicating this common message: Life is meaningless without God.
Former pastor Dan Barker eloquently, powerfully, and rationally upends this long-held belief in Life Driven Purpose. Offering words of enrichment, emancipation, and inspiration, he reminds us how millions of atheists lead happy, loving, moral, and purpose-filled lives. Practicing what he preaches, he also demonstrates through his own personal journey that life is valuable for its own sake: that meaning and purpose come not from above, but from within.

Recapturing Some Hope
Considering the horrible things happening these days, driven by extreme conservatism and Christian Nationalism, my hope for humanity has been faltering. As a lifelong atheist, this book didn’t necessarily teach me a lot, but it reminded me of and framed in enjoyable and meaningful ways many things I really needed to hear right now. Things that helped me recapture a bit of that lost hope. Thank you Dan!
Joke is on you
You already KNOW (or maybe you were a self made pastor, meaning you never knew God) but, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW & EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!!
Yeah, keep those comments turned off
