Losing Faith In Faith: From Preacher to Atheist is the biography and collected writings of Dan Barker, a man who was once a Christian preacher, but slowly lost his faith and became an atheist.
Status
I own a signed hardcover copy and have read it.
Review
Overall, I enjoyed the book greatly. Barker's memoirs are quite interesting and give an unfiltered look at the mental gymnastics that went on in his mind as a faith believer trying to win souls for God, then the disgust as he slowly became a non-believer who still preached as a source of income. His later writings as a non-believer are very thought-provoking, but I did notice some of his arguments are have issues (like some facts about Mithraism).
