I’m skipping an audiobook (Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel: REALLY GOOD!) with this post.  I’m currently listening to Religion for Atheists by Alain de Botton).  I first heard him on a podcast interview with Krista Tippett (On Being) and realized that this might be a great book for my Psychology of Religion and Spirituality class.  I continually struggle with atheist students not understanding why religious people are faithful and with religious students not understanding why atheists don’t recognize the benefits they enjoy in their faith.  I’m hoping this might help in that endeavor.

The other books I’m requiring are Karen Armstrong’s The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions and David Fontana’s Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality.
