Matthew 24:34
"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."
It has been 2024 years, 313 days, 16 hours, 57 minutes, and 54 seconds since Jesus promised to return to Earth.

If you could give one book to a Christian, what would it be?

Which one book would you give to a Christian to help them get over their God infection?

It seems that each time I read a good book written by a skeptic, I say to myself, "If only I could get Christians to read this book too!". I have a strong feeling that if a Christian could just read the very simple and easy thoughts put down by a guy like Carl Sagan, they too would see the light and realize that all of this religion stuff is nonsense.

Here's your chance to recommend books to a Christian reader that may actually turn them around to a rational way of thinking.

Personally, I'm fond of Letter to a Christian Nation, Pale Blue Dot, and The Varieties of Scientific Experience (A Personal View of the Search for God). While Pale Blue Dot wasn't necessarily about religion, I felt it provided a great perspective on our unimportant existence in the universe. The God Delusion was great too, but I don't want to scare anyone off.

Which books would you guys recommend? And Christians, would you be willing to read any of the books presented here?

    I remember being impressed with Atheism: The Case Against God, by George H. Smith. It's especially good for a Christian, as it takes rather direct shots at Christanity in particular.

    Lol @ Harry Potter, I've heard that whole book deals with black magic and witchcraft!

    Thanks for the recommendation AnagramYYZ, I've added that to my atheism book list
