Publisher's summary

A former religious radio host raised in the cradle of Christianity, Seth Andrews, battled his own doubts for many years. His attempts to reconcile faith and the facts led him to a conclusion previously unthinkable, and this once-true believer ultimately became host of one of the most popular atheist communities on the internet.

An excellent book

Kudos to Seth Andrews for writing and recording this book. It’s a compellingly told story of awakening and should be listened to by anyone with an interest in free thought.

Seth...more than a pretty voice!

Immensely enjoyed this book. Seth's low mellow tone and wise, revealing words will connect and compel.

Absolutely amazing!

He has changed my life for the better! His views have helped me overcome so much anger towards religion. This book has brought text to my emotions and thoughts that I struggle to convey to others in an understandable way. I appreciate all of Seth's work! He is such an admirable and remarkable human!

Honesty is the Best policy and here it shows

Would you consider the audio edition of Deconverted to be better than the print version?

I think this version is better because it is actually read by the author who on top of being a radio broadcaster makes you feel like he is having a conversation with you. It is very entertaining.

What does Seth Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He makes you feel like he is sitting across from you at a table enjoying a cup of joe and telling you about his life.

Any additional comments?

I have met Seth once and he is one of the nicest most kind individuals I have every had the pleasure of sharing company with. Everyone should take some time to read this book, religious or not.

A quick guide to reason.

What did you love best about Deconverted?

Do you believe? Did you believe? Do you have questions? This book is a firecracker in the middle of a sleeping flock, a shot in the arm of 'new' atheism. Accessible and comprehensive, entertaining and informative, fun and sincere, Seth's book yells 'Wake up and smell the cheese people'.

Which scene was your favorite?

The litany of bible atrocities.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

A lot of laughs, facepalms, sighs and 'amen's!

Any additional comments?

Can you 'read' this, comprehend it, study its references and still believe?

Fantastic!

Before purchasing the book, I was worried that the material would be a repetition of what I had already known from listening to Seth's podcasts and reading "Holy Cows". Fortunately, plenty of it was new and I enjoyed it very much! Seth drew a lively picture of his life before and after the deconversion, and I feel we have gotten to know him more as a person and an activist through this book.

Furthermore, the whole book had a refreshing and energetic vibe to it. It was a joy to listen to.

Joined just for Seth Andrews!

A big fan of the TTA podcast for a while, had this book on my wish list & decided to give it a go on my free trial! Memoirs are my favorite genre, but I hope to catch the new Ghost Stories book soon!

Nice to know I'm not alone

As a recent "convert" from Christianity. It was very comforting to hear that someone else had the same doubts and fears. While listening to this book keep in mind that it IS Seth's biography so you'll hear a lot about the thinking atheist site and community (awesome source for info and community while struggling with losing your religion btw).

Deconverted

This book is great. Seth is a wonderful story teller and his voice is entrancing. As someone who is a musician and songwriter, I can sort of relate to his story. In short, Seth is awesome and I thank him for telling his story and for all he does.
