Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe In Review: As an Atheist Seeking Meaning- Found Something Beautiful in this Book - Anjali Kumar writes about the catalyst to seeking more answers about spirituality and religion, as giving birth to her daughter, and wanting to have answers for her, when she inevitably asks the big life questions about the existence of God and the afterlife. For me, this quest for meaning came when I lost my uncle, whom I was extremely close with, to pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. I remember the anger I felt when people approached me at his funeral, noticing my intense grief, and attempted to explain to me that this was "God's plan," and I should trust it. What?? How can a supreme being have it in their plans to rip my uncle away from me? How can it be some grand plot to take a man filled with joy and life, and have it come to an end at the young age of 50? It infuriated me. As time passed, I found myself growing angrier and angrier, until this rage manifested in my everyday life, snapping at my loved ones and growing to be less patient at work, or even with myself. I wanted SOMETHING, anything, the belief that I would one day see my uncle again in some beautiful paradise, to just ease the pain. But try as I could, there was no genuine belief. Only longing. That's why I picked up this book. I understood Anjali's need for meaning, and I truly appreciated every single step of her journey. I was surprised, but intrigued to find that she didn't seek traditional, organized religious experiences, but more unorthodox ones. I learned a lot about other customs and beliefs, some I had never heard of. The lessons she learned in each experience were small, but meaningful and powerful in their simplicity. My only criticism with the book, for the sake of feedback, is that it can feel difficult to relate to Kumar's story, who clearly has the financial privilege to travel to different states and countries for these experiences. Not to mention the time off from work, that many of us do not have. An experience like this would be significantly more difficult for the average reader. However, this is eased by Kumar's chapter about finding spiritual resources online, and also the appreciation for her message, even if the traveling is not attainable. I find that I was still able to fully absorb and appreciate her ideas, and that they could still be applicable to me in my everyday search for meaning. You will laugh (Kumar's humor is fantastic), think, appreciate other cultures and ideas, and find answers to your own big questions about what we are "supposed" to know the answers to, and what should just be felt within ourselves. I feel so much better about meaning and spirituality after reading this book. I don't want to give away the main spiritual takeaways or her final "conclusions," but I feel that everyone in need of searching will seek comfort in knowing that they have the power to make ANY experience, a spiritual one. All we have to do is believe, not in a god necessarily, but in our own abilities to make our lives meaningful. Review: This book is a wonderful journey through a potluck of alternative spiritual experiences that ... - I think so many of us are spiritual but have had difficulty relating to organized religion. This book is a wonderful journey through a potluck of alternative spiritual experiences that many of us wished we had time to have pursued ourselves. The author is funny, silly, smart and infectious. You feel like she is talking to you and you don't want to put the book down because she is thinking and saying all the things you have experienced in your own journey but you can't talk about it with anyone for fear that most of your friends and colleagues will think you are nuts. This book makes you long to have a friend like this author and it makes you realize that there are a lot of people like you on a nutty spiritual journey that are just waiting to have a deep conversation.... so you don't feel so alone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,983,909 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,081 in Lawyer & Judge Biographies #9,076 in Religious Leader Biographies #49,655 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (110) | | Dimensions | 5.88 x 1 x 8.63 inches | | ISBN-10 | 158005661X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1580056618 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | January 16, 2018 | | Publisher | Seal Press | ## Images ![Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe In - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KSQHwlH-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As an Atheist Seeking Meaning- Found Something Beautiful in this Book *by K***E on April 9, 2020* Anjali Kumar writes about the catalyst to seeking more answers about spirituality and religion, as giving birth to her daughter, and wanting to have answers for her, when she inevitably asks the big life questions about the existence of God and the afterlife.

It is all relevant but didn't keep me engaged. It would be nice to have the ability to do it all. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60730207-stalking-god-my-unorthodox-search-for-something-to-believe-in](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60730207-stalking-god-my-unorthodox-search-for-something-to-believe-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
