Michael Camp is an independent-minded author, blogger, former evangelical missionary, and microbrew enthusiast. His new book, Confessions of a Bible Thumper: My Homebrewed Quest for a Reasoned Faith traces his twenty-five-year plus spiritual journey into and out of conservative Christianity. Not about to avoid controversy (and sometimes accused of sprinting into it), you will enjoy his entertaining and reflective writing on religious and social issues. His inconoclastic style always insists on going where the evidence leads.
He is also writing a second book, a novel called The Vision, about a religious studies professor at a secular university, who has a mystical utopian vision of the future with global implications that angers religious conservatives and turns her world upside down.
