AUTHOR WRITES BOOK DETAILING ESCAPE FROM FUNDAMENTALISM

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 3, 2011 -- Pocatello, ID – Author Craig Hart has written a book describing his life and eventual escape from fundamentalist Christianity.

“I felt it was an important story to tell,” Craig Hart said. “Many people struggle with similar religious issues as I did and, looking back, I think a book of this nature would have been helpful to me.”

The book, Passing Through: An Ex-Fundamentalist’s Pursuit of Personal Spirituality, talks about Hart’s fundamentalist upbringing, how he worked his way through a dominating culture and mindset, and what conclusions he reached after his spiritual journey. Part memoir, part religious critique, and part philosophical treatise, Passing Through traces Hart’s path from the controlling environment of fundamentalism to the formation of the theory of Energetic Universalism. It examines various facets of the fundamentalist Christian faith, including the inerrancy of the Bible and the divinity of Jesus Christ. Passing Through takes an honest look at the existence of God and the danger of religion.

As an author, philosopher, public speaker, former pianist, book reviewer, and history nut, Craig Hart considers himself something of a renaissance man. He is intensely interested in religion as it relates to a spiritual existence and adopts Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s idea that “we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.”
