Reseña del editor:

"On this my brother and I agree: that independence of mind is immensely precious, and that we should try to tell the truth in clear English even if we are disliked for doing so."---Author Peter Hitchens on finding common ground with his brother, celebrated atheist Christopher Hitchens

Here, for the first time, Peter Hitchens, brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchens, chronicles his personal journey through disbelief into a committed Christian faith. With unflinching openness and intellectual honesty, Hitchens describes the personal loss and philosophical curiosity that led him to burn his Bible at prep school and embrace atheism in its place. From there, he traces his experience as a journalist in Soviet Moscow, and the critical observations that left him with more questions than answers, and more despair than hope for how to live a meaningful life.

With first-hand insight into the blurring of the line between politics and the Church, Hitchens reveals the reasons why an honest assessment of Atheism cannot sustain disbelief in God. In the process, he provides hope for all believers who, in the words of T.S. Eliot, may discover "the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Contraportada:

This book explains what, as an atheist, Peter believed, and why he came first to dislike this and then to reject it and finally to recognize that all these beliefs had been counterfeits of the true one.
Peter would respond to many of the points made by his brother Christopher Hitchens, but ultimately the argument will be that justice and liberty, which we are made to desire, require authority and law to sustain them. Peter would then explain why these things in turn necessitate Theism, and why Christianity is the most persuasive and reasonable form that Theism can take.
