This book by an ex-evangelical preacher is a detail of his journey from faith to non-belief. In a sense, you could consider it his "confession', as he discusses how he converted others to the faith, and participated in anti-evolution sermons. He also contributed music and plays to the vast corpus of Christian literature, from which he still draws royalties. The author writes in a very down-to-earth, approachable style, more friend than professor. This is a good book, full of data, examples, and ideas, even if I don't like the "preacher" style of Dan. He always talks like he has the only goal of converting you, no matter what. I would prefer a more soft and less confrontational approach. Maybe this is what religious people need in order to reconsider their faith and believes. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Barker's writing is clever, replete with humor and a pure joy to read for anyone wrestling with the illogicality of belief. He can no longer take religion seriously so you see that he's just laughing at the absurdity of it all.
In the mid-2000's Losing Faith was updated for a newly-energized freethought market, and the result was 2008's Godless. The new edition is worth checking out since it goes into further detail on most of the subjects first printed here, but I still prefer this version. ( )
