"Rarely are questions of faith genuinely debated with the kind of sincerity, insight, and compassion presented in Tony and Bart Campolo's thoughtful new book. We can all be grateful this isn't just a family discussion." -- Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy "A love story for our time. One of the most honest books of this generation." -- Kenda Creasy Dean, dean of Princeton Theological Seminary and author of Almost Christian "An indispensable treatise of hope and transformation. In an age when the fastest growing religious demographic in the United States are those who are not formally affiliated with religion, Tony and Bart provide us all with a model for how we engage, interrogate, and reconcile our similarities and differences." -- Varun Soni, Dean of Religious Life, University of Southern California "Bart's journey--and especially the amazing relationship he's forged with his superstar preacher dad--will delight anyone looking for an example of how to live a beautiful and good life without God. Tony's response--to honestly engage without attacking--is equally inspiring.


" -- Greg M. Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University "An intellectual feast, an example, and a window into robust expressions of both evangelicalism and humanism. This is an important book for our times. Please read it." -- Rev. Dr. David P. Gushee, author of Changing Our Mind "The Campolos have done us all a huge favor by discussing their differences right here in the open.


A remarkable book." -- Hemant Mehta, editor of FriendlyAtheist.com "Bold. Gripping. Brutally honest." -- Ronald J. Sider, Palmer Seminary at Eastern University "This book offers a model that could bring healing to many torn relationships--a thoughtful dialogue into which people from across the spiritual spectrum can enter." -- Lynne Hybels, Willow Creek Community Church "[Tony Campolo is] one of the most important evangelical Christian preachers of the last 50 years, a prolific author and an erstwhile spiritual adviser to Bill Clinton.


" -- New York Times "[Bart Campolo] is a rising star of atheism." -- New York Times "It is all too easy for believers and secularists to caricature each other [but] both Campolos invite readers into something deeper than a simple clash of worldviews." -- Library Journal "The Campolos' dialogue is a template for families and friends who want to move past debate and into fellowship." -- Booklist "Coming at a time of growing religious disaffiliation, the Campolos' book casts new light on why belief dies (or is never born) and, perhaps more important, what happens after." -- Tom Krattenmaker, Religion News Service.
