OverviewOne of 5 Awesome Atheists Under the Radar. -Steven Olsen, Patheos.com Leaving the Quiet Room chronicles the formative years of veteran Atheist activist Joe Zamecki at a Catholic primary school. Insightful and often humorous, the memoir is a unique glimpse into the making of a champion for freedom of conscience. Having endured the dogma and abuse of a religious education, Zamecki evolved from true believer to self-described loudmouth for the Freethought movement. Zamecki has since dedicated his life to countering the negative consequences of theism, with eight years as a full time employee of American Atheists, Inc. and a stint as the national organization's Texas State Director. His pioneering work includes helping to found Atheists Helping the Homeless, The Atheist Experience television show, and countless hours campaigning for the rights of atheists and the freedom of those shackled by religion. Joe Zamecki is simultaneously inspirational and controversial. However, he is never afraid to wear his atheism on his sleeve, and that takes a level of courage that few people possess. Joe is also not content to simply be an atheist. He wants to persuade others to walk down a path that he traveled many years ago. Leaving the Quiet Room is the story of that journey. Through his story, Joe reminds us that even the most vocal activists may have once been firmly on the other side of the fence. But if he can change his mind, so can you. -Hemant Mehta, Friendly Atheist Full Product DetailsAuthor: Mark Vandebrake , Joe ZameckiPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Imprint: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.70cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.177kg ISBN: 9781499158762ISBN 10: 1499158769 Pages: 126 Publication Date: 13 May 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
