Why I recommend this book

I have listened to this book twice and continue to go back to it often. I love that this is read by Seth Andrews. He is highly engaging. His voice projects and easy to listen to. And most importantly, this book is BEAUTIFULLY written. Some of the chapters will really grab hold of you. I cannot begin to explain how each chapter amazed me. You will find yourself constantly thinking, "I always felt that way but I could never articulate my thoughts, but I wholeheartedly agree!" Seth Andrews has helped me explain myself as an Atheist. I could not do that before discovering work. I love this book and I cannot wait to read the others!

exceptionally well written, beautifully performed

The story of Seth Andrews' deconversion from Christianity is both compelling in its honesty and lovingly sensitive to those who find comfort in their faith. The author recounts his tale with self depicting humor. He is incredibly open and genuine about his experience. Andrews is a brilliant story teller. He reads his story with personal appeal to his listeners, employing all the skills from his seasoned radio career.

Dear Seth, KEEP WRITING! <3

To Seth: I am a HUGE fan, and I love this audiobook! *hugs* Keep up the awesomesauce work for the cause of freethought. THANKIES YOU!

A lovely listen.

Seth is indeed a great communicator, and this was a very enjoyable book. Both his personal story and broader outlook are equally well represented, and the fact that he's a professional radio host also marries that great content with a stellar narration experience.

Think for yourself

I’ve listened to Seth for about a year or so as I walk down my own deconstruction path. My takeaway from all the reading, listening, watching, (and writing I’ve done) is that my life is mine. No one else’s. I can and will think for myself. Unlike the religionist, the atheist encourages questions be asked and circular answers not be acceptable “just because”. I would recommend this audio book to anyone who is on his or her own deconstruction path.

Good

but his rant centers on The Bible, written by men, and Christianity, and organized religion, invented by men. Fine, but as is often overlooked, God may be something beyond the scope of our limited imagination and understanding, should there be a Supreme Mover Creator. To dismiss "God" is not deep thinking. To dismiss the probability of truth behind organized religion and The Bible is another. Call me agnostic.

Could not stop listening!

Seth has a gift. He is a wonder narrator and brings an engaging, interesting, thought provoking audio book for the world to read. This book, although only four ish hours long, (I didn't want it to end).. is very informative and perfectly balanced, easy to listen too, and brings to light how The Thinking Atheist came to be. Religious people take heed: The internet is the new god. Your beliefs are eventually too fade, and science will, eventually, take over as the truth that it is. Seth Andrews is going to help change the world.

A good introduction for new atheists and doubters

If you listen to Seth Andrews' The Thinking Atheist podcast, you've already heard most of what's in this book. (But Seth has a voice like melted chocolate, so it's enjoyable to hear again.)

The best chapters give us an insider's view of the business of selling Christianity, through Seth's experiences as a Christian radio broadcaster.

Recommended for those just starting out on their atheist journey, as Seth is compassionate, wise and funny.

Simply excellent

Very good- mirrored my own path to rational free thought enlightenment . A book that all Christians should read if they are not afraid to challenge themselves spiritually and intellectually.

Interesting and easy listening

Enjoyed the book. Really found the chapter on contradictions in the bible helpful.
Thank You to the author for sharing.
