- A Tribute to Christian Hate Mail
Here, Harris responds to the thousands of mostly indignant letters he got for writing "The End of Faith". We might assume he is attacking a stereotype of Christianity, as a fanatically intolerant relic of the Dark Ages. But it seems these Christian letter writers really did convince him, quoting chapter and verse, that their religion stands for bigotry.

To me, Harris's letter sounds roughly like an argument between two Americans, one a critical thinker, and the other some kind of super-patriot who actually insists that everything said or done in American history has been God's will, because America is God's country.

- Concise and well put Christian Polemic.
This book is really suited to someone who wants to get the key arguments against Christianity without having to spend a long time reading something like 'The God Delusion' or 'The End of Faith'. It's very short and could be read in a day or even in a single reading.

Most head-in-the-sand Christians won't read anything that would challenge their faith but I would hope that a simple, short book like this would make that simple task more feasable.

Surely they'd come out the other side with a deeper, stronger faith.

I'd certainly applaud Harris for ... Read More:

- They thought we could never end slavery... What about religion?
This book is outstanding. The only problem I have with these kind of books, is that they do not give an easy answer to all our problems; unlike another book I know of. As Sam Harris suggests we have a monster problem to face, and the time do something about it is now...

Religious or not, if you care about our world and the people in it, you can start by reading this book.

Rating:

- Should be read by every Christian without exception
Speaking as a former Christian (and now an ardent secularist), I can say without hesitation that this book should be read by EVERY person who considers themself to be a Christian.

I have bought more copies of this book than any other as I regularly give copies to friends and family members, as I am that confident that their lives would be bettered by considering the issues it raises.

A copy of this book should reside in every hotel room across the Western world.
