Waiting for God
The Spiritual Explorations
of a Reluctant Atheist
by Lawrence Bush

Why have so many baby boomers turned to spirituality and religion in their quest for the good life?

How did growing up with the Bomb
influence a generation’s view of science and spirit?

What effects did psychedelic drugs
have on American spirituality?

What is the difference between open-mindedness and gullibility?

Is God a necessary part of a religious life?

Is atheism anything more than a
negation of theological belief?

“Bush has a reputation for independent and unpretentious thought and dialog. Here, he continues that tradition, exploring factors that converted Woodstock-era nonbelievers into passionate
spiritual seekers . . . For both general readers of theology and more seasoned readers
looking for a convenient grappling [with] the issues. ”
                                                                                          Library Journal

“With courage he walks the tightrope between atheism and the temptations of belief. . . . His spiritual peregrinations are deeply personal, searingly honest, wise and witty. Seldom has ‘waiting’ been so dynamic, fascinating and insightful. . . . a “must read” for all people sensitive to the spiritual and intellectual dilemmas thrust upon us by modernity.”
                                                                                          Dr. Joseph Chuman,
                                                                                          Ethical Culture Society

“Bush writes about non-belief with an empathy for believers missing from the works of the New Atheists. . . It’s interesting — or perhaps inevitable —that the most probing voices in the current religious debate belong to atheists. . . . Bush, the atheist, suggests how the debate can become dialogue.”
                                                                                          Andrew Silow-Carroll, editor,                                                                                           New Jersey Jewish News
