Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Should we believe in God? In this new book, written for a new generation, the brilliant science writer and author of The God Delusion, explains why we shouldn’t.
Should we believe in God? Do we need God in order to explain the existence of the universe? Do we need God in order to be good? In twelve chapters that address some of the most profound questions human beings confront, Dawkins marshals science, philosophy and comparative religion to interrogate the hypocrisies of all the religious systems and explain to readers of all ages how life emerged without a Creator, how evolution works and how our world came into being.
For anyone hoping to grapple with the meaning of life and what to believe, Outgrowing God is a challenging, thrilling and revelatory listen.
Includes a supplementary PDF.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wonderful
Another addition to Dawkin's wonderful book collection. My own book, "The Curse of God- Why I left Islam" was inspired by Dawkin's books and I felt quite honoured when Dawkins made the same points in chapter 5 as I made in chapter 2. I don't think Dawkins has read my book and he obviously came up with these points independently but still its a great compliment to me that our minds think alike to a large degree.

good for an atheist chuckle :)
There are no surprises in this book of you know Richard Dawkins, but this is not a bad thing! He delivers on both the micro and macro level, telling lots of small stories about Bible inconsistencies and weird religious stuff, but then pulls it all together in a clever way to drive home an empowered argument. i found myself very entertained throughout!

Perfect for the next generation
Outgrowing God is the perfect book for the new generation. Anyone who was intimidated by The God Delusion or who has not read it yet should read Outgrowing God. Dawkings once again completely dismantles the dogmas of religion, and shows a clear and understandable path towards science and reason.

Wonderful
Amazing, well written book. They only let down was that the accompanying PDF was missing sections. There occasions where Dawkins mentions something in the PDF and then it is missing.

Life is better without God
I love listening to rational scuentific arguments against irrational religious beliefs. I find them highly entertaining and illuminating & no-one does it better than Dawkins.
You don't need God to be good or moral. God is not a good answer to gaps in human knowledge, science is the only chance at rational answers. God giveth mankind suffering, cancer, disease, disasters and delusions. Science giveth mankind hope & solutions. Science is our saviour from the tyranny of Gods. Thank you Richard for making this understanding digestible to the common reader

Required reading for any Christian.
The tonic for what ails you. Step out of ignorance and into the light. We need to start valuing truth over feelings. Otherwise we are doomed. Now Mr Dawkins must turn his spotlight on the new cult of Woke, with similar precision.
