I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST

Kate Reading's delivery is well suited to Geisler and Turek's text. They shift from explanation to argument to compassionate overture to storytelling; so does she. Reading’s pace, tone, and cadence vary smoothly, and, quite essential for a book addressing a subject this complex, she adds pauses at key points to allow listeners to digest the concepts. The result will be extremely attractive to certain Christian listeners. However, listeners who do not share the authors' philosophical premises may find their reasoning and evidence hard to follow. As a result, the book may not succeed at one of its stated purposes—answering arguments against belief in God. Others, though, may find the discussion provides insight into contemporary American religious culture. G.T.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
