Goodbye Jesus I've Gone Home to Mother

These are accounts from the journeys of former Christians-including some Clergy-who left the churches they grew up
in and came over to Paganism and the Goddess. Why? The idea and title for this anthology was conceived in a hot tub over 20 years ago, after an interfaith conference, where several of us Pagans were sharing our stories of how we found (or were found by...) the Goddess...and could never go back.

Thirty deeply personal-and often heart-rending-accounts are bracketed by introductory material and Appendices to provide background, history and context for the emergence of an alternative religious paradigm that is now one of the
world's fastest-growing faith categories...
