A Shot of Faith {To the Head}: Be a Confident Believer in an Age of Cranky Atheists
by Mitch Stokes, Ph.D., published by Thomas Nelson, 2012.
Dr. Stokes has had a double career that prepared him beautifully to write about the ideas in this book. In his earlier life he earned an M.S. in mechanical engineering and worked for an international firm where he earned five patents in gas turbine technology. Pretty impressive. But then he must have gotten bored or something, because he went off and earned an M.A. in religion at Yale and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Notre Dame. He is now a college senior fellow in philosophy. So, whatever you may think about his views, you can’t say that he doesn’t have the background to write about them.
