Why God Won't Go Away

This book was an easy read and had so much good information in it for those who would debate the New Atheists on their own turf, but I do feel it was titled incorrectly. I think this book was a case of showing where the new atheists are way off base even according to their own guidelines. I learned much about the four men who are acknowledged leaders in this movement. While they seem to have quite a strong following, the flaws in their reasoning that are pointed out in this book by Mr. McGrath are, in the end, going to be too much to overcome by any but the most rabid of their followers.
I truly appreciated the clear reasoning that the author used as he refuted the beliefs and statements made by those in the New Atheist movement. McGrath was logical and methodical in his presentation showed the reader many excellent ways to stand up to those who have been so badly deceived without being arrogant, disdainful, or overly antagonistic. Many times just following through their statements to their logical conclusion should be enough to show the error of their ways. Sadly, there are none so blind as those who will not see and we can see that to be the case with the four men who head this train of thought against Christianity.
More than anything, I found this book to be a wake up call for the church. The time is quickly coming when committed Christians will be seen by the majority as the enemy. Logical reasoning and intelligence will not prevail. Fortunately for us, we know how the story ends, and we know that God will not only not go away, He has won the war.

I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson Publishing as part of the booksneeze program in exchange for my honest review.
