May 14, 2004: Dianna Narciso describes the journey that is the subject of 'Like Rolling Uphill: Realizing the Honesty of Atheism' this way: ??I found myself on a journey of learning and understanding that, while some spots were difficult and upsetting, was very much like rolling uphill toward self-enlightenment. I couldn?t stop the progress, I couldn?t stop the momentum, and I certainly couldn?t go back to where I?d been.? Between the covers of this book is the story of a life in process. Narciso candidly tells the reader who she was, who she is and what caused her to change. She does so in a straightforward narrative that pulls no punches, whether assessing her own ideas and attitudes or commenting on some of the misunderstandings and misinformation she has encountered while realizing her own atheism. Journeys of self-discovery are always unique and never quite over. Those who are traveling a road away from religious orthodoxy will find a kindred spirit revealed in the 170 pages of this book. In a tale that is fast-paced?at times, almost breathless?and authentic, Narciso explains how she found happiness and fulfillment by challenging her own beliefs and searching for honest answers to honest questions. There are bookshelves filled with testimonials from the religious of all denominations proclaiming the benefits of their religions. Here?s one from a nonbeliever who points out the intellectual and emotional joys of a godless existence.
