Lord, I Don't Want to Die a Christian

'Religion, including Christianity is a chain that billions of people revere. They reverence it because religious faith without fear seems impotent and all but impossible. Chandrika and I come from identical religious backgrounds and I relate to and resonate with the feelings and thoughts she expresses in this profoundly revealing journal of her journey to personal freedom . . . This book is a kind of underground railroad that has come above ground and is publicly helping people find freedom!' -Bishop Carlton PearsonOrdained minister believes Christianity hinders her experience of God, Life, and Humanity.'After living in China as a Christian missionary, hosting a two-year Bible study for seven curious Chinese freshman college students, my sense of curiosity inhaled and later exhaled when returning to the practice of western religion.Born into a devoutly religious family, the daughter, niece, and grandchild of Christian clergy, degreed in Biblical Studies, ordained as a reverend of the faith, I now have questions of the religion that raised and readied me.The emittance of questions and resolves thereof have done well in surrendering to me a choice: Christianity or curiosity?' -Chandrika?
