"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 . . .

"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.
