I was wondering if anyone here has read, "What's So Great About Christianity" by D'Souza? I'm not satisfied with the Amazon reviews, so I was hoping to get some feedback about the book here before I spent $27.99 on it :sigh:

Thanks

I'd skip it. I only read a few chapters, but it was boring.

This is much better at what Dinesh is trying to do:

I've already read, "The Irrational Atheist." It was a humorous good read. Any others you recommend?

Have you read Reasonable Faith by Craig?

Actually, I haven't got the chance to read ANY of his books. Should I scratch What's So Great for Reasonable Faith?

It's his most accessible book. If you like it he has about 50 other ones.

Im currentley reading Dinesh d' souzas book at the moment and although its a bit hard going in the first few chapters it does get going and well worth a read. He just slowly builds a case and now that im reaching the end feel like Ive learnt a few new things and my faith some what strengthened. Im looking forward to reading the Irrational Atheist aswell though!
