Absent parents, these kids ran wild in their rural, suburban world. They saw themselves as frontiersmen, daredevils, and self-confessed hellions. These children were also alone way too much, sometimes frightened, and in serious need of discipline and hugs. This heartwarming collection of stories, seen through the eyes of one kid, depicts their lives of roaming fields and woods, surviving their daily, madcap adventures, exploring haunted farmhouses, and, as we kids would say, just messing around.

Rise to Reason is an in-depth and undaunted examination of the contradictions, errors, and misunderstandings of which Christianity vastly consists.The book speaks to many individuals:¿ The believer who is beginning to doubt what Christianity tells her.¿ The believer unsure how to proceed-"Do I dare break away?"¿ The non-believer who desires a fuller understanding of the true nature of Christianity.¿ The non-believer who would broaden her knowledge of the fallacies of Christianity and reconfirm her atheism, deepen her commitment to humanism, and lay to rest any remaining doubts.¿ Anyone seeking knowledge of Christianity over the myths of Christianity-the truth regarding "miracles" and the actual reason for the seeming continuity from book-to-book of the Bible.Addressed are such topics as¿ The fallacy of prayer.¿ The logical paradox that renders impossible the purely human notion of God being "all-powerful," and/or "all-knowing."¿ The origin of the concept of Satan.¿ The fictional nature and origins of key Bible characters, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.¿ The role of midrash and pesher in biblical authorship, and how they came to be mistaken for prophecy and biblical book-to-book continuity.¿ The Backlash effect/cognitive dissonance.¿ What the Book of Revelation is actually saying, and why we needn't fear its grim "prophecies." Sometimes shocking yet always informative, Rise to Reason is a factual, down-to-earth view through adult eyes of the concepts instilled in us as children-beliefs many have carried into adulthood having never questioned. There are no diatribes, no tirades-just a factual scrutiny of things as they really are; a thorough examination of Christianity from a science-based, rational point of view grounded in highly readable scholarship. This book has the potential to change lives.
