Critical Praise
"This time he's outdone himself . . . A spate of atheist screeds has arrived in the bookstores lately, but Hitchens' may be the best since Bertrand Russell's 'Why I Am Not a Christian' (1927), laying out the essential arguments with force and precision . . .

"Hitchens did himself a disservice by naming his book "God Is Not Great". Though he is an atheist, I do not think his beef is with God. It is with fanatical religious leaders and ignorant followers. Christians, read and be challenged. Do not consider this book as a threat. Let it be a reflection of how religion really can poison everything."
