The Rage Against God

How Atheism Led Me to Faith

By: Peter Hitchens

Narrated by: Peter Hitchens

What if notorious atheist Christopher Hitchens, bestselling author of God Is Not Great, had a Christian brother? He does. Meet Peter Hitchens--British journalist, author, and former atheist--as he tells his powerful story for the first time in The Rage Against God.

In The Rage Against God, Hitchens details his personal story of how he left the faith and dramatically returned. Like many of the Old Testament saints whose personal lives were intertwined with the life of their nation, so Peter's story is also the story of modern England and its spiritual decline. The path to a secular utopia, pursued by numerous modern tyrants, is truly paved with more violence than has been witnessed in any era in history.

Peter invites you to witness firsthand accounts of atheistic societies, specifically in Communist Russia, where he lived in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Peter brings his work as an international journalist to bear as he shows that the twentieth century--the world's bloodiest--entailed nothing short of atheism's own version of the Crusades and the Inquisition.

The Rage Against God asks and answers the three failed arguments of atheism:

• Are conflicts fought in the name of religion really just conflicts about religion?
• Is it possible to determine what is right and what is wrong without God?
• Are atheist states not actually atheist?

Join Hitchens as he provides hope for all believers whose friends or family members have left Christianity or who are enchanted by the arguments of the anti-religious intellects of our age.

absolutely worthwhile

The author bares with Christian humility, dignity an unflinching view of modern world and self.

Wonderful book

Thoughtful, intelligent and well read. I recommend this highly. The first Peter Hitchens book I read or listened to.

Highly recommended

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYTHING FROM PETER HITCHENS! GREAT READ,
FASCINATING PERFORMANCE VERY ARTICULATE IN SPEECH AND EMOTIONS! 👍👍

Honesty and depth

I enjoyed Peter's book. Although I didn't agree with some of his opinions I found his writing to be honest and uncontrived. In my opinion he doesn't seem to try as hard to sound smart as does his brother Christopher.

I really enjoyed his reciting of the King James bible verses at the beginning of some of the chapters--I love the poetic sound of that particular version and they lend credibility to his understanding of the faith.

This book should be thought more of an autobiography than as a complete counter argument to the athiest "fad" of the moment and to me it was enjoyable as thus.

Jumpy progression, but enjoyable and enlightening.

What did you like best about this story?

Peter is a learned man and an exceptional orator. That much is abundantly clear throughout the book.

What about Peter Hitchens’s performance did you like?

Worth listening to the audiobook over reading it on paper. Peter's inflections and dialect apply very, very well to the words on the pages. He brings a lot of emotion to where mere text could not convey.

Any additional comments?

Easy to follow in the short-term, though it seems to jump from place to place overall. Lot of ground to cover in five hours. I'll have to listen to it again someday.
