LIFE DRIVEN PURPOSE: HOW AN ATHEIST FINDS MEANING
Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B88512
English Summary/英文概要： Every thinking person wants to lead a life of meaning and purpose. For thousands of years, holy books have told us that such a life is available only through obedience and submission to some higher power. Today, the faithful keep popular devotionals and tracts within easy reach on bedside tables and mobile devices, all communicating this common message: Life is meaningless without God. Former pastor Dan Barker eloquently, powerfully, and rationally upends this long-held belief in LIFE DRIVEN PURPOSE. Offering words of enrichment, emancipation, and inspiration, he reminds us how millions of atheists lead happy, loving, moral, and purpose-filled lives. Practicing what he preaches, he also demonstrates through his own personal journey that life is valuable for its own sake-that meaning and purpose come not from above, but from within.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每个有思想的人都想要过一种有意义和目的的生活。但几千年来,圣经告诉我们，这样的人生是只有通过服从和妥协于一些更高的力量来实现。如今信徒依旧在床边祷告，相信没有神的生活是毫无意义的。前任牧师丹•巴克有力地，理性地颠覆这个亘古不变的驱动生活的目标。他提醒我们数百万无神论者也过上充满幸福,爱,道德和目标的生活。他还通过自己的生命旅程,证明每个人的生命有他自己的意义,而这些意义和目的不仅仅来源于上述说得这些。（XAT）
Awards/获奖情况：“一本可爱的书!”——理查德•道金斯,《上帝的错觉》作者
“最大的误解之一是无神论者因为不信仰神，是没有道德,价值观,或生活的意义的。在这个可爱的布道中,丹•巴克轻而易举地反驳说,生活真正的意义和道德只能来自于接受我们的界限,并理性人性地处理这一切。”——杰里•科，《为什么进化史正确的》作者
“丹•巴克巧妙地对无神论者的误解进行了反驳。”——维克多•J .斯蒂，《上帝:失败的假设》作者
"A lovely book!"---Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion "One of the biggest misconceptions about atheists is that without God they can have no morals, values, or meaning in their lives. In this lovely secular sermon, Dan Barker handily rebuts that claim, showing that true meaning and morality can come only from accepting our finitude, and dealing with it rationally and humanistically."---Jerry Coyne, author of Why Evolution Is True "Dan Barker has cleverly reversed the arrows of purpose so they fly from the bows of life instead of raining down from an imaginary archer in the sky."---Victor J. Stenger, author of God: The Failed Hypothesis
