Synopsis

What if notorious atheist Christopher Hitchens, bestselling author of God Is Not Great, had a Christian brother? He does. Meet Peter Hitchens--British journalist, author, and former atheist--as he tells his powerful story for the first time in The Rage Against God. In The Rage Against God, Hitchens details his personal story of how he left the faith and dramatically returned. Like many of the Old Testament saints whose personal lives were intertwined with the life of their nation, so Peter's story is also the story of modern England and its spiritual decline. The path to a secular utopia, pursued by numerous modern tyrants, is truly paved with more violence than has been witnessed in any era in history.Peter invites you to witness firsthand accounts of atheistic societies, specifically in Communist Russia, where he lived in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Peter brings his work as an international journalist to bear as he shows that the twentieth century--the world's bloodiest--entailed nothing short of atheism's own version of the Crusades and the Inquisition.The Rage Against God asks and answers the three failed arguments of atheism:Are conflicts fought in the name of religion really just conflicts about religion?Is it possible to determine what is right and what is wrong without God?Are atheist states not actually atheist?Join Hitchens as he provides hope for all believers whose friends or family members have left Christianity or who are enchanted by the arguments of the anti-religious intellects of our age.

Goodreads review by Rod

Thank you Peter for writing a book like this. I doubt it will open many peoples eyes to the danger of a society without the morality and love of Jesus. But maybe a few will stop and think for a moment. I think this book will be confusing for many people who lump all of religion as a goodness on human......more

Peter Hitchens, the brother of famed atheist polemicist Christopher Hitchens, tells the story of his personal journey to faith in the pages of The Rage Against God: How atheism led me to faith. This story is a fascinating and brilliantly written one, and well worth reading. That is not to say it is a......more

Goodreads review by Dinochunks01

Paid twenty five cents at the employee book sale last autumn. I thought it would be a recommendation for my son who is living a faith based life while finding and growing his talents. I ended up reading it myself as my life appears to be undergoing some crises. I appreciate Mr. Hitchen's background......more
