So I've recently gone through a bit of a faith struggle recently, and so far I'm persevering. Well, one of my close friends recently recommended I read a novel penned by an atheist, something he did when he was having a crises of faith. He claimed reading the atheist's words did nothing more than to strengthen his confidence and love for God, and as a result he was closer to God after reading the book than he was before. He even gave me a list of novels to try, penned by buys like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchins.
So my fear is that I'll start to question everything I've gained since my crises, opposite of what my friend experienced. I know guys like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchins are extremely intelligent, and probably write very articulately (probably with the hope that they'll sway individuals towards their belief system...or non belief). So should I read a book like that?
