From the bestselling author of Jews Dont Count





A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ALAIN DE BOTTON Magnificent. Breathtaking. And shockingly rare another one-sitting wonder STEPHEN FRY



David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isnt. Or at least, that is Baddiels view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone elses, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable and more understanding of the value and power of religion than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises Baddiels trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates.

Recenzijas

This is such a fabulous book. Honest, powerful, moving. Cant remember ever liking a book in praise of atheism as much as this. Many atheists dont really get religion. David Baddiel absolutely does. Giles Fraser



Praise for Jews Dont Count:



Jews Dont Count is a supreme piece of reasoning and passionate, yet controlled, argument. From his first sentence, the energy, force and conviction of Baddiels writing and thinking will transfix youas readable as an airport thrillera masterpiece. STEPHEN FRY



I dont think I have ever been so grateful to anyone for writing a book. Baddiels Jews Dont Count is incisive, urgent, surprisingly funny and short. Its also a beautiful piece of publishing. It needs to be read JAY RAYNER



Brilliant, furious, uncomfortable, funny. Essential reading. SIMON MAYO



I'm about a quarter of the way into this thus far and it's very well argued and written. It's a book you know the author HAD to write, and those are the best books JON RONSON



I only big up work I really believe is good and this is extra-ordinarily good. And important JONATHAN ROSS



This is brilliant funny and furious, mostly at the same time MARINA HYDE



A convincing and devastating charge sheet Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times



It is so gripping I read it in a single sitting Stephen Bush, The Times



A fascinating book, I urge you to read it Piers Morgan



I really think its a great book the real triumph is its tone, its straightforwardness, and its spectacular tact and wit Adam Phillips, author of Monogamy



Funny, complex and intellectually satisfying a really good piece of work Frankie Boyle



Just so brilliantly argued and written, I was completely swept along Hadley Freeman



David Baddiel is a brilliant thinker and writer. Even when I disagree with him especially when I disagree with him I feel profound gratitude for his intellectual and moral clarity. This is a brave and necessary book. Jonathan Safran Foer
