My first book, Nothing: Something to Believe In, is now one year old. You can still buy it - click on the book cover to order your copy. Of course, you can also visit your local bookseller but if they don’t have it in stock, ask them to order it.

 

The past year has been very interesting. I have enjoyed traveling around the country and meeting so many new people. I have been part of a national conversation about non-belief and it has been fascinating.

 

My latest project is a book about parenting and religion, more specifically about secular parenting. The working title is What We Believe: Parenting in a Multi-Faith World. I am looking for parents to share their stories about raising kids outside of religion (or along side it, or with more than one religion…) so if you have a story to share contact me.
