„As a scientist, open-minded skeptic (who cheers on challenges toirrationalism), and a man of faith, [Myers] seeks to transcend theskeptic/believer divide by suggesting how faith can be reasonable, science-affirming, and humane.“
-Skeptical Inquirer (January/February 2009)
„Reading Myers will not set to rest all the incongruities orfailures of Christianity; but it will demonstrate, in a thoughtfuland readable format, that God is good and that to follow in thesteps of Jesus your soul will become bigger, better and moregracious.“
- Youth Worker Journal
„The humility with which Myers writes and the intelligence withwhich he composes his arguments could disarm the most jadedcynic.“
- Worship Leader Magazine
"Believers and skeptics could learn much from each other, andthe author's willingness to build a bridge between twosometimes hostile territories is what makes his work so welcome. Myers's psychological training enables him to grasp the humanperson in a unique way, and he is able to introduce an intellectualelement into the God debate."

A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists

Musings on Why God Is Good and Faith Isn't Evil

von David G. Myers
A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists helpsreaders--both secular and religious--appreciate theircommon ground. For those whose thinking has moved from thereligious thesis to the skeptical antithesis (or vice versa), Myersoffers pointers to a science-respecting Christian synthesis. Heshows how skeptics and people of faith can share a commitment toreason, evidence, and critical thinking, while also embracing afaith that supports human flourishing--by making sense of theuniverse, giving meaning to life, connecting us in supportivecommunities, mandating altruism, and offering hope in the face ofadversity and death.
