Is Atheism Dead?

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,770
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.

If you could sum up Whole in three words, what would they be?
Awesomly Supersensationalistic Ideas
Any additional comments?
This book is about SOO much more than just nutrition! The insight in this book could be revolutionary if more people would read it. Change the world! If you care anything at all about your health, loved ones or our planet, you need to listen to this! Even if you think you already know everything about health and nutrition. He does use some big words that I had to look up from time to time,but if a simple uneducated factory worker like me can be get some of the complex ideas in this book,then surely you can. For everyone involved in providing this information, you have my deepest and sincere thanks.

This book has made me realize I have a deeper passion for Lego than I knew. I loved hearing about the history and culture of Lego. I always knew there were probably adult Lego fans out there. Now I know were to find them. Since reading this book, I have obsessively pored over Lego sights and to the delight of son I have bought way more Lego than my wife thinks sane!

In American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way, he stumbles through several attempts to make his mark - as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.

A collection of A.J. Jacobs' most hilarious and thought-provoking experiments yet. In his role as human guinea pig, Jacobs fearlessly takes on a series of life-altering challenges that provides readers with equal parts insight and humor. (And which drives A.J.'s patient wife, Julie, to the brink of insanity.)

Everyone knows Scott Adams as the king of workplace humor. No office is complete without a few Dilbert strips on the wall. And if you compare a VP to the Pointy-Haired Boss, no further description is necessary. But why should a humorist stick to the workplace when there are so many other great subjects to explore? What about politics? Religion? Malfunctioning underpants?
