Honoring Heather Hamilton's Journey: Returning to Eden

Honoring Heather Hamilton's Journey: Returning to Eden

Heather's book, Returning to Eden reexamines the Bible stories of childhood and opens them up as symbolic maps into the inner world. Stories like Jonah and the Whale, the Parting of the Red Sea, Noah's Ark, and the Virgin Birth are illuminated with penetrating depth and intellectual integrity. Faith is no longer a white-knuckled grip on implausible beliefs, but a relaxation into a deep inner knowing. You may be surprised to find yourself reinvigorated and enlightened by stories you thought you knew inside and out. Returning to Eden has the potential to cultivate a renaissance of wonder and curiosity for anyone from the most seasoned Christians to the most committed atheists, and everyone in between.

After a crisis of faith and some serious doubts, he began deconstructing about 20 years ago. Today, Michael has written books, hosts and produces a podcast called Spiritual Brewpub and helps others through deconstruction with his Coaching business.
