I haven’t been doing a lot of reading since the summer but recently read a short book called “I sold me soul on eBay“.
The author is an atheist who decided it may be beneficial to his life to consider a religion (other than the one he grew up with - Jainism). Instead of picking from a plethora of religions himself, he decided to put the decision in the hands of eBay customers. The winning bidder turned out to be a Christian pastor, doh! The author was than asked to visit over a dozen churches and write his critique of them.
The book - while not a great piece of writing - is a great look into the church from a nonreligious persons point of view. The author who calls himself a ‘friendly atheist’ takes a very even keel approach to his critique and offers a lot of good advice to those who profess to be followers of Jesus.
Sounds very interesting…Jainism is something I’m not familiar with, but now want to be. Thanks for the hot tip.
