This is a very powerful book. It doesn't provide answers, rather it assists the reader to understand where the conversation is today and what the various threads of thought are based around. Sitting at a little over 100 pages and taking just over 2 hours to listen to on Audible, this book is very accessible … Continue reading Book Review: Conscious
I've been meditating on and off since 2017. When I first read about it in Sapiens, I was astonished. I was reading a book that didn't focus on spiritual trivia, yet here was the author explaining how he has a daily meditation practice. I started using an app called 'headspace' in 2017, which you can … Continue reading Book Review: Waking Up
I am a big fan of Douglas Murray, and when I saw that his 2013 book 'Islamophilia' had been reissued (after the original publisher when bust and the book stopped being available), I had to pick it up and work through it as soon as possible. I was instantly curious about this book, with a … Continue reading Book Review: Islamophilia
Not a parent? It doesn't matter. This blog post will look at some areas we can all work on, and I think it is essential for everyone, as we will all have been influenced by our parents/careers/friends. It can help us reflect on what is within us from our childhood - because it affects us … Continue reading Book Review: The Conscious Parent
**The final plug for this: I am currently fundraising for a new PC due to a major technical failure with my current iMac that will see it get decommissioned in the near future. If you can help, please donate here.** It doesn't matter what religious (or lack thereof) belief you hold; it doesn't matter where … Continue reading Book Review: The Triumph of Christianity
I read this a couple of years, and ago very early on in my deconversion, I found it very interesting. I wanted to come back to it again and managed to pick it up on Audible so I thought I would give it a listen. It's narrated by Mr Dawkins and his now ex-wife Lalla … Continue reading Book Review: The God Delusion
I had heard a lot about Bart D. Ehrman before I picked this book up. As a Christian student at Bible College, here in the UK, I was advised very much against reading his work. It was said that because Mr Ehrman is an atheist, that this will have affected his judgement of the biblical … Continue reading Book Review: Heaven and Hell
There is something poetically thrilling about Douglas Murray. His way of explaining a situation with its caveats and nuance is brilliant and he draws the reader along explaining the messages and concepts that he is tackling clearly as he hits them one at a time. I can only imagine the amount of reading, thought and … Continue reading Book Review: The Madness of Crowds
I've read this book before, but as I was saying a couple of weeks ago, I really wanted to listen through to this book as it was read to me by Christopher Hitchens himself. There is something about the way he talks and articulates his point that I find extremely engaging. His topic choices are … Continue reading Book Review: God is Not Great
I have read a couple of books by Christopher Hitchens - God is Not Great & Mortality. I am currently re-reading God is Not Great, and you can expect a book review in the next couple of weeks. By 'reading' I actually mean 'listening' as I have read it before I thought it would be … Continue reading Book Review: The Portable Atheist
