Overview

"A ""funny, gently touching, and brutally honest"" memoir, I Hope I Was Wrong About Eternal Damnation is a story about how to adjust when you realize that your life is built on false beliefs. In the 1990s, Evangelical culture was an outrageous mishmash of Christian ska concerts, sexual abstinence pledges, and mega-church worship sessions. Thrust into Christian leadership in his youth, Tim Mathis built his entire life around that sort of thing. By his twenties, religion provided his career path, his identity, and a tight-knit social circle of priests, missionaries, and evangelists. His only problem? The dawning recognition that his faith was entirely disconnected from reality. Tim Mathis is the author of the independent hit The Dirtbag's Guide to Life: Eternal Truth for Hiker Trash, Ski Bums and Vagabonds. He has written for Trailrunner Magazine, Grit City Magazine, The New Zealand Herald, and The Intrepid Times. He's won awards for his short travel pieces and has been featured on The Art of Manliness Podcast, among others.

As an atheist with very little religious education I dove in with an open mind and came away feeling intrigued, reflective and somewhat validated of my own opinions. Tim has an exceptional way of engaging his reader using humor, intellect and just plain raw and honest accounts of real life experiences which i found both entertaining and humble. A must read for all, no matter your life journey - I highly recommend this book."" - Sarah A., New Zealand ""Mathis has an uncanny, honest and humorous way to make you think about the hard stuff of life."" - Scott W., United States ""The book is laugh-out-loud funny in parts, and it's compelling...Sometimes the acute portion of whatever upheaval you are in *is* the right time to make a decision."" - Neil S., Seattle"
