'The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is a unique and brilliant book, tackling questions that really matter but in a disarmingly funny and winsome way that will make you laugh out loud. It is honest, expertly argued and compelling. I thoroughly recommend this book!' -- Sharon Dirckx, speaker, author and broadcaster 'I am thrilled that Andy has updated his classic book. This new edition is just as insightful and funny - maybe even more so! Whether seeker or believer, The Atheist Who Didn't Exist will be both an enjoyable and interesting read. The final chapter alone is worth the price of the book.' -- Sean McDowell, author, speaker and professor at Biola University, USA 'Belief, trust, and faith are some of the liveliest conversations of our generation. What does it mean for us to simply exist? Why do we exist? In his typically playful and engaging style, Andy Bannister tackles many of the significant ideologies of the West and brings us to a place of thoughtful consideration for the atheist, who may not exist, and the God who is stronger than our doubts. Helpful for anyone engaged with intelligent, witty conversation on the highly likely existence of God.' -- Sarah Yardley, Head of Evangelism, Emmaus Road, UK 'Like a fine wine, Andy Bannister's writing ages remarkably well. This revised and updated edition of The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is as intelligent, relevant and funny as it was the first time round. However, the arguments feel even more persuasive today. Atheism has been tried and found wanting and Andy is not alone in noticing a positive shift in attitudes towards faith. There has never been a better time to invite people to consider the case for Christianity, and Andy Bannister shows how to do it with wisdom, grace and plenty of humour too.' -- Justin Brierley, speaker, writer and broadcaster 'Andy Bannister's The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is a blend of sharp reasoning and pointed humour, offering a critique of popular atheist arguments. With a storyteller's flair, Bannister presents complex ideas in an engaging and accessible way, reflecting the author's energetic and personable style. Beneath the light-hearted tone lies a thoughtful engagement with the claims of atheism and scepticism. Whether you agree or disagree, this book will entertain and provoke meaningful reflection.' -- Krisztina Mair, lecturer at Oak Hill College, UK 'This is not your typical book on atheism. With a combination of humour, knowledge and wit, Andy Bannister provides practical tools in engaging with common atheist discourses. As Bannister notes (via the poetry of Matthew Arnold) the sea of faith ebbs and flows. The irony of this illustration is, as Andy points out in his conclusion, tides have a funny habit of returning to where they started. We're seeing the surprising return of spiritual thinking and faith for a reason... it is entirely reasonable.' -- Wesley Huff, Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada 'We all have an inner sceptic - a "watchful dragon", as C. S. Lewis called it. And the best way for faith to steal past such watchful dragons is with a story. Step forward Andy Bannister, armed to the teeth with stories and illustrations that are always thoughtful and often laugh-out-loud funny. A delight to read, ponder and pass on.' -- Glen Scrivener, author, speaker and Director of Speak Life
