It's very good for understanding Jesus' message and the differentiations between chuch and God as a figure. It's a good read for Christians and atheists alike, and I'd urge some of you to check it out.
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but oh well, I wanted to post it somewhere.
It is certainly a good book for borderline Christians. However a feel good book is really not convincing for atheists. Christians tend to have these "flavor of the month" type books and ideas. Remember Jesus Christ Superstar? How about "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series? Remember when ever TV minister spoke in tongues? How about when God told Pat Robertson to run for President?
