jerry dewitt. the author of the new book "hope after faith." thomas robertswell. and as fascinating as all of us seem to be to ourselves and others, there's nobody more fascinating than somebody who writes a book as -- i mean, it just is a grabber. an ex-pastor's journey from belief to eighthiatheist. why did you write the book? >> i wrote the book to tell my story. i think it's a story a lot of people are living through. i think they needed the support by hearing there were other people out in the world just like themselves. thank you for calling me fascinating. i think that's a first. >> well, fascinating. it beats what i'm sure a lot of other people have been calling you. so tell me about the leap from faith to what i would believe would be hopelessness but you say there's hope after faith. talk about that jump. was there a triggering event or did it occur over time? >> no. no. i wish it was a triggering event. but then we wouldn't have 270 pages of a book to write or 25 years worth of a story to tell. it was actually 25 years of life changing experiences
