Richard Dawkins book The God Delusion is a best seller although it has had bad reviews. He leaves so many questions unanswered and has stirred any number of Christian scientists and writers to respond with short papers and longer books. I found Challenging Richard Dawkins by Kathleen Jones a gripping read, easy to understand, thought provoking and satisfyingly damning of the thinking of Richard Dawkins. Point by point she works through The God Delusion explaining, teaching and shirking nothing. The result is an ideal book to give to anyone disturbed by reading Richard Dawkins book, or just curious to hear the ‘other side’ of the picture. This title could equally well be in the category Evangelism or in ‘Learning About Our Faith’, perhaps we ought to thank Richard Dawkins for strengthening many peoples faith in God by these books written to deny his opinions!

A really great and entertaining read, the author (an emeritus professor of social policy with many books to her name) has produced a real challenge to Richard Dawkins, not only tackling him on his own ground of the pure sciences but drawing on history, and philosophy as well as science to challenge Dawkins and argue the case for our creator. I really loved this book-so thoroughly researched with footnotes and index ans such a great read - I couldn't put it down. Would make a great gift. Enjoy!
