The Best Book Available on the Atheist Religious Point of View
This book is a hidden treasure. If you are at all interested in Atheism as a religious point of view, you must buy this book. More pragmatic than Sam Harris and 100 times funnier than Chris Hitchens. This is the best book on the subject to come out in the last 26 months. If you are a die-hard atheist who wants to find more arguments for your next Thanksgiving dinner with your Evangelical family, you must buy this book. If you are a questioning agnostic who wants to feed an intellectual debate, you must buy this book. If you are a rigid Fundamentalist Christian, you must buy this book, if only to burn it. This powerful book will change minds and change the religious debate in this country. It is sublime, it is subversive, it is clever, and it is quite possibly one of the most subtly radical and dangerous books on the market today.

Witty and thought provoking! This book literally draws you in and captivates ... with doodles!
This book is full of hilarious anecdotes as it takes a thoughtful view into the controvercial topic of religion. The author doesn't try to be politically correct; it's an honest insight into being an atheist - without bashing religion.

I'd recommend the book - it will get you thinking for long after you read it. If this doesn't get the book club talking I don't know what will!

Much more than a good read, the author really engages the reader in the book through his stories, witty quips, well researched references and cartoons.

This is top of my list for its imaginative approach and sheer readability.

A Fully Charged Response to the Christian Community
Thom Phelps has written a clear, humorous, winding tale of his logical decision not to have faith. While pointed at times, and focused at tearing down "literalist" walls, this honest expression of his lack of faith and frustration with those who do believe is a must read for believers, non-believers, and the undecided. While I don't agree with his content, the book made me think about a lot of core beliefs I have. It's a must read for Youth Ministers, Missionaries, and others dealing with unbelievers. [...]
