Not exactly a reinterpretation, so much as a completely new take on the idea, A.C. Geryling wrote a humanist bible called "The Good Book."

There is also The Jefferson Bible, which is basically the story of Jesus without all the woo.

Neither of these are exactly what you are looking for, but I think both are interesting.

I get the feeling they will use a lot more of the "Why I'm not a Muslim" books. While a decent step, it is only going to breed the already rampant islamophobia in GA. Why not "The Good Book: A Humanist Bible"?

The Good Book by A.C. Grayling is one of my favorites. It's a bible of wisdom and humanism written in the style of the Christian bible.

I haven't read either of these, but they seem to be the kind of thing you're looking for.

check out The Good Book: A Humanist Bible. You might also try taking some introductory physics courses. I personally felt rather spiritual as I was learning the extent of the profound vastness of the universe.

Not my bag really, but Alain de Botton has published a book which sounds like it might be right up your alley - Religion for Atheists.

The other option that comes to mind is AC Grayling's The Good Book. (In my opinion, a little better)

Hope they help!

Yes, actually. A. C. Grayling wrote The Good Book, which is a 'humanist bible' and something I find very comforting. This site has some quotes from it. I recommend taking a look at Consolations, specifically, which is centered around grief/death. Lamentations is pretty cool too. It takes the form of the Bible but is secular.

Accept the mortality of ourselves and those we love, and see that to give life is to prepare to lose it, to love is to prepare to grieve, and yet: love, and give life, and be full of courage and honour, for this is our human lot, and we must make it as fine as our powers allow. Consolations 13:18-19

I don't have children yet, but I'm trying to anticipate these same situations you've shared. One book that I might use in place of a christian bible to teach morals and life lessons is The Good Book: A Humanist Bible.
