Sam Harris
W. W. Norton
, 2005
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!
Just read it, it will change the way you view our world. It could change the way you vote for leaders and it could change what you do on Sundays. The path to a future of world peace is inside the covers of this book if you can open your mind and absorb it. Ignore it ...
God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
Christopher Hitchens
Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group
, 2007
Untitled, Sorry.
I've absolutely loved everything Christopher Hitchens has said about religion in this book and everything else he's had to say about religion before and after. He's a brilliant man who's done his homework. But I think the title is misleading because I don't think ...
Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon
Daniel C. Dennett
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2007
Belief in Belief
This book has a bit more scholarly depth than the other books by the so called "four horsemen" and requires more careful consideration than the other books simply because of the nature of Dennett's view on religion. He never comes across as attacking religion the way ...

Joel Osteen
FaithWords
, 2007
An Absolute Must Read!
Over the last few years (this year in particular), my soul has been on a search for something. As a result, I've read so many books I could not even begin to list them all. To make a long story short, this book is by far on #1 on my list and as I've said--that would ...
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism
David Mills
Ulysses Press
, 2006
Exceeded all of my expectations...
I've been questioning relgion for quite some time, but never really labeled myself as an atheist. This book is intended as a specific rebuttal to the creative design 'science' promoted by religiously influenced schools. Not only does it wonderfully refute creative ...
The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books
, 2008
Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book
It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide ...
There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind
Antony Flew
,
Roy Abraham Varghese
HarperOne
, 2007
Understanding how an atheist could change his mind
I have heard Antony Flew's name many times over the years, because every time that I would read about a Christian apologist, it seemed that Antony Flew's name would come up as his atheist antagonist. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened my newspaper in December ...
The Secret Universal Mind Meditation
Kelly Howell
Brain Sync Corp
, 2006
Changed My Life
Originally, I came across this CD while I was studying ways to increase creativity in my art. I found studies of binaural feedback and then this BrainSync Series. So I figured trying this CD out wouldn't hurt. Let me first say that you should invest in a nice ...

Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts
Carol Tavris
,
Elliot Aronson
Harcourt
, 2007
how ego maintenance exacts a huge price
Who wants to admit he was wrong, made a mistake, exercised poor judgment, was misled or conned? None of us do, but most of us are skillful at excusing or justifying those acts. This absorbing book explains why and how we reduce "cognitive dissonance" to maintain a ...
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Charles MacKay
Harriman House
, 2003
A classic must-read! Very, very insightful!
This book identifies and describes phenomena that most would assume to be foreseable and evident when observed as historical event. However such manic human behavior keeps occuring over and over again, which inevitably (as history observes) have destructive ...
Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books
, 2000
Inspiring
Unweaving The Rainbow is not only a great science book for a casual reader, but it is also very inspiring because Dawkins' writing shows science and the natural world in a light that fills the reader with awe and wonder. Very well done and pleasant to read.
