The editors of Killing the Buddha, the online magazine of religious ambivalence, are pleased to announce that the 2009 anthology Believer, Beware, First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith is now available as an e-book. Pundits and demagogues pretend that religion is black and white, but we think most people actually live in the grey. In Believer, Beware today’s best religion writers grapple with the ambiguities of their traditions in witty, heartfelt and irreverent confessions. How can the Three Stooges help with your Zen meditation? How do you talk to your family when they’re speaking in tongues? Where do you go when you’re the only Jew for miles? And how do you mourn a loved one when you don’t share their faith? Those answers—and many other questions—can be had for just $4.99. All proceeds go to sustain Killing the Buddha, an independent online religion magazine for people made anxious by churches. We’ve been publishing first-person dispatches from the margins of faith like these since 2000. Come join us!
