The Little Book of God, Mind, Cosmos and Truthby Ken Francis (St Paul’s, £8.95). This may be a “little book” but it tackles some of the world’s most far-reaching questions. Does God exist? Did the Resurrection happen? Is there a hell? Francis’s answers are crisp, bold and – to quote the blurb by Theodore Dalrymple – full of “courage”. He argues that theism is both valid and necessary, and that no sane person acts as if atheism were true. The Irish writer John Waters describes this as “a book to give to your teenage children the first time they come over all ‘rational’ ”. It would also be a piquant gift for hardened atheist friends.
