So that's the hook that really got me interested in Mike McHargue, whose encounter occurred in a time of emotional inner religious turbulence (it doesn't always - Frossard was blithely blindsided by his). His book here briefly goes over it, but rather than the focus it's just a pebble on the path of the story - which, again, is about all you can expect it to be in a book. That story path goes over McHargue's evangelical youth, his loss of faith, and his gaining of a wiser, more universalist sort of belief, deeply informed by the Christian tradition but also significantly by his reading of the current science explaining the universe and the human mind.
It's a memoir, and also a solid rejoinder to the books of the New Atheists arguing that religion is harmful. It can be in a certain form, sure, but then so can weather, food, drink, cell division, etc. McHargue's aim is to share with the reader how he found his way back to religion, and the benefits that can be derived from having a religious practice.
