"God is Not Great"

This book caught my eye as I rushed through ‘Borders’ this afternoon on my way back from picking my new glasses (yes I am getting some reading glasses! I tell you my body is falling apart and I’m only 23!!).

I was hurrying through and the title really caught my eye.

Has anyone read this and is it even worth looking at?

I don’t want to spend x amount of dollars on a book that is just quite simply useless.

Hi Bek,

I have read some reviews, and I doubt that I would spend the money... ;-)
Ted Esler wrote about an article he had read on this book's author and his brother. http://www.esler.org/2007/06/03/hitchens-versus-hitchens/
I also read some reviews on Amazon and it was pretty clear to me that he is a fundamentalist Atheist, and wouldn't necessarily lend much insight into the mind of the average person on the street. This is one of the two books I mentioned in a sermon at church a couple of weeks ago...
