From Bondage to Liberty in Religion: A Spiritual Autobiography

"To him who thinks of religion only as a matter of course, or as an affair of the church, or as a medium of social advantage; or to him who identifies religion with the ravings of half-witted fanatics and regards it with patronizing contempt, this book will make no appeal. But to the man or woman who has learned that religion is one thing and theology another, and at whatever cost, is willing to share with the author in his struggle to know the truth about it and be at peace, these pages will command undivided attention; for they relate not only the story of mental perplexity ending in a great personal solution, but they likewise have the charm of a real romance of the soul." The book is the spiritual autobiography of George T. Ashley. It follows his struggles in understanding and applying the Christian doctrines presented to him in different forms, and his attempts to shake off dogma for true spiritual freedom.
