review 1: A very engaging read about a reporters struggle with faith. I appreciate that the author is a reporter because it gives him the ability to really investigate his own feelings and look at them honestly and objectively. Also, the chapters detailing some of the more sinister and reprehensible activities of the Catholic church were pretty jarring and tough to read, simply because of the fact that they actually happened. I was a little disappointed by the superficial nature of the catalysts for the author's conversion and deconversion, but ultimately they were enough for him. And I'm sure many people make such important life decisions based on even less thoughtful reasons. Still, as a life-long agnostic, I remain fascinated by the reasons people choose to follow any relig... moreion and this book provides entertaining insight into that subject.
review 2: Удачная книга о вере и сомнении, о духовных поисках и людских пороках. Автор, журналист и бывший христианин, беспощаден не только по отношению к "волкам в овечьих шкурах", но и к самому себе. Подкупающая честность и, я бы даже сказал, интимность. А ещё Лобделл напоминает о том, о чём мы почему-то часто забываем: невозможно верить (или не верить) по приказу. less
