“Grace Without God” Book Release | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Katherine Ozment presents Grace Without God: The Search for Meaning, Purpose, and Belonging in a Secular Age— a personal and critical exploration of the many ways nonreligious Americans create their own meaning and purpose in an increasingly secular age.

As a writer, journalist, and secular mother of three, Ozment came face-to-face with the fundamental issue when her son asked her the simplest of questions: “what are we?” Unsettled by her reply—“Nothing”—she set out to find a better answer. She went to visit diverse congregations, from an atheist church to a storytelling gathering to a nature-based coming-of-age ritual.

She turned to science and the humanities, seeking guidance from noted scholars in a wide range of disciplines. She interviewed community leaders and parents, and explored her own family’s attempts to find connection without religion.
