Religion & Spirituality. Nonfiction. When you pray, are you talking to a God who exists? Or is God nothing more than your "imaginary friend," like a playmate contrived by a lonely and imaginative child? When author Sam Harris attacked Christianity in Letter to a Christian Nation, reviewers called the book "marvelous" and a generation of readersâ??hundreds of thousands of themâ??were drawn to his message. Deeply troubled, Dr. Ravi Zacharias knew that he had to respond. In The End of Reason, Zacharias underscores the dependability of the Bible along with his belief in the power and goodness of God. He confidently refutes Harris's claims that God is nothing more than a figment of one's imagination and that Christians regularly practice intolerance and hatred around the globe. If you found Sam Harris's Letter to a Christian Nation compelling, the book you are holding is exactly what you need. Dr. Zacharias exposes "the utter bankruptcy of this worldview." And if you haven't read Harris' book, Ravi's response remains a powerful, passionate, irrefutably sound set of arguments for Christian thought. The clarity and hope in these pages reach out to readers who know and follow God as well as to those who rejec… (meer)

I can't say his arguments registered with me most of the time. I also have not read Sam Harris, so perhaps I don't have the background? ( )

I listened to the unabridged audio version. I would have given it 3 and half stars if Goodreads had half-star ratings. ( )

A brief but compelling book on Christian faith and its response to the New Atheists, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins et al. ( )

Sorry to be a wet blanket

This is the ninth of the responses to the New Atheists that I've read, with six more waiting on my bookshelf. I'm glad that several people seem to love Zacharias's book, but from my perspective a 3-star "It's OK" rating was the appropriate one. He makes some good points, but I just can't work up the enthusiasm for him that others can. I certainly don't see the resemblance in him to C. S. Lewis that others do.

While the book is fairly cheap, it's very short, so you're paying about ten bucks an hour for whatever enlightenment you're achieving. The book felt disorganized to me, with no real chapters but just one big section carved up into little 2- or 3- page thoughts. I felt it needed fewer expressions of indignation and fewer Indian folktales, and more historical, philosophical, and scriptural insights. What there were of the latter were generally good, but I felt they suffered from being presented sporadically rather than systematically.

I mean no offense to those who feel blessed by Zacharias's ministry, and, as they say, your mileage may vary. ( )

Excellent response to the atheist position. Ravi clearly addresses the misquotes of scripture, erroneous "statistics", and blatant falsehoods, that Sam Harris uses to try to get his point across in his writings on atheism. ( )

Shortly after Sam Harris published his first person pen letter against religion, The End of Faith, I invited him to debate a Christian on my television show.
