A Shot of Faith (to the Head) by Mitch Stokes


“A Shot of Faith (to the Head): Be a Confident Believer in an Age of Cranky Atheists" by Mitch Stokes is a pretty good book. Oh! Before I forget! Let me explain: I got this book for free from the Thomas Nelson Publishing Company through the booksneeze bloggers programme in exchange for an honest review. I am under no obligation to give this book an positive review, so everything you see here is completely my own opinion. So. That being said, moving on. Anyway, I got this book because the tag line, “Be a Confident Believer in an Age of Cranky Atheists,” made me giggle. I had never heard of the word ‘cranky’ being included in a non-fiction book title. It caught my attention. In addition, I love apologetics, so I figured that I would like this book.

And I ordered, read it, and realized that I did like this book. If you enjoy defending your faith, then you will most likely love “A Shot of Faith (to the Head).” It makes you think. I enjoy it. I give it four out of five stars, simply because it does have an obnoxious title: most atheists don’t enjoy being called cranky. It makes them… cranky.
