'The Beloved Classic on Christian Belief', that subheading says it all really. I used to love C. S. Lewis, the way he writes and his unique ability to draw a metaphor that fits with what he is saying fantastically. Who am I kidding, I still do love him. I recently subscribed to two new Podcasts. … Continue reading Book Review: Mere Christianity
I really flipping enjoyed this book. It feels like it is written for older children or young adults and I am not gonna lie, I think that's a really good thing. Mr Dawkins looks at a wide range of subjects, to name a few; light, evolution, earthquakes and miracles. For each section, he addresses the … Continue reading Book Review: The Magic of Reality
I have wanted to read this book for a very long time. Bertrand Russell comes up time and time again in a whole host of Christian, Agnostic & Atheist literature. He seems to have led a very thoughtful life and come to strong moral decisions based on rationality, which affected his day to day life. … Continue reading Book Review: Why I Am Not a Christian
This book broke my heart. It also really pissed me off. I expect a true belief system to be able to fight into the world we see around us, not explain how it is still relevant and why it is true, regardless of what we see around us. I wanted an offensive assault on my … Continue reading Book Review: Confronting Christianity
There is something beautiful in finality, all things come to an end and as far as we can tell we are simply conscious beings, here one moment and without any rhyme or reason gone in the next. Our time is fleeting, yet for some reason, we (humanity) go to extreme lengths to pretend and act … Continue reading Book Review: Mortality
This is a short but brilliant little book. It only took a couple of hours for me to get through and I really did fly through it. Sitting at 128 pages, it is jam-packed full of simple arguments which are aimed to help refute religious propositions for a deity. If I am to be honest, … Continue reading Book Review: Why There Is No God
I often call myself a 'default doubter', finding that I traverse the side of scepticism far more easily than I travel the side of belief. As someone who was raised in a Christian family, I am sure you can imagine, this has caused a fair few challenges over the years. Christians all too often turn … Continue reading Book Review: Gunning for God
I find it exceptionally easy to slip back into my Christian thinking. To be easily swayed back along the lines of reasoning and arguments made at me to justify my belief in God for decades. I need to sever blind belief at the source, and I need to understand why I am losing my faith. … Continue reading Book Review: The End of Faith
Books have different impacts upon you depending on the season you read them. As I read this book (July-August 2019) I am well on a journey of deconversion out of Christianity. I am searching for community and answers, and thus I have read and listened to a whole host of resources. I want to begin … Continue reading Book Review: Still Unbelievable
