Mere-O alumnus Keith Buhler has an interesting [review of Peter Hitchens' book over at ](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/2011/03/review-the-rage-against-god-how-atheism-led-me-to-faith/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)[*The Examined Life*](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/2011/03/review-the-rage-against-god-how-atheism-led-me-to-faith/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)*,* the excellent online bimonthly from the [a place where you should send your teenager this summer](http://www.wheatstoneacademy.com/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

I haven't read Hitchens' book, but Buhler's a good guide, even though his high praise strikes me as a bit over the top:

> Peter Hitchins’ new book is as insightful as C.S. Lewis’ *Abolition of Man*, as dramatically interesting as this year’s Academy Award winner *Social Network*, and as readable as today’s newspaper. Peter Hitchins, the brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchins (of *God Is Not Great* fame) has done a remarkable thing: He tells how he “fell away” from atheist communism, to a robust, thoughtful full-orbed Anglican Christianity... He began “doubting his doubts” only after living in Soviet Russia and seeing the failure of communism, wherein he also saw the failure of atheism.

> \[H\]e successfully engages in a highly emotional topic using techniques not commonly sold in the marketplace of Christian, or anti-Christian, polemics: actual arguments. Christian and atheist alike can benefit from his account of the beliefs a young and intelligent person is pressured to believe. Likewise, Hitchins’ story can help one examine one’s motivation for staying a Christian, or one’s motivation for becoming something else."
