A short and satisfying book that puts Stephen Hawking in his place. Obviously, no atheist is going to be convinced (just look at many of the reviews) but that's to be expected. On the argument of God's existence, both sides are at such polar ends that it's bound to always be a shouting match of atheist insults and theist rebuttals. This book, though, isn't really intended to prove God's existence as much as it is simply to deconstruct Hawking's argument against His existence. Either way, it's good. If you're a Christian you will probably like it. If you're an atheist, you will hate it and find a lot does not suit your worldview.
One of the important things to take from this book - whether you are religious or otherwise - is that the writings of such atheistic pillars as Hawking, Dawkins, Hitchens and the like are far from unchallenged. They do not "destroy religion" as their fans often like to proclaim. If anything, they are giving Christians an opportunity to think more deeply about their faith and how they can justify it in the face of militant opposition.
