Broken Bridges Chris Highland

Could a freethinking secular humanist who is happily married to a Protestant minister have anything helpful to say to the rest of us about building community in a world divided by beliefs?
The answer is a resounding Yes, and Chris Highland has done just that in his latest book, Broken Bridges.

With true stories from his years as a chaplain in jails and shelters, he reflects on the wisdom of the "unheard" as well as insights from well-known voices like Frederick Douglass and the Dalai Lama. Broken Bridges is an invitation to wider thinking for secular people and for those who still believe.

With a sometimes pointed but never a mean-spirited or anti-religious tone, this book intentionally presents hints but not "how-to" toward repairing, rebuilding, or even replacing old structures of belief that stand in the way of true progressive reform.

Think what we could build together beyond belief!
