Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In December, 1971, at the age of 17, I accepted Jesus into my heart and became a born-again Christian. I did so at the behest of a close and trusted friend, who assured me this was definitely the way to go."
Industry Reviews
"[Shermer's] book is unusually useful, but perhaps for a reason the author did not intend. It sheds unique light on the interior life of a well-informed atheist today, and may foreshadow a new spirit of amity and mutual inquiry."
Novak
"Perhaps only someone with [Shermer's] background could have written such a penetrating analysis of the state of religious belief in our society today."
Horwitz
"Shermer's desire for universal religious patterns is central to his project of finding a 'scientific' account of religion. Science (at least in the modern Western sense of this word), is a search for universals. Yet his hankering for such an account seems to have blinded him to the incredible diversity of the phenomena - he seems to see only those bits of religion that suit his purpose...."
