John Wilkinson
"No Argument for God"
IVP, 2011, 978-0-8308-3420-4, $15.00

John contends that the irrationality of faith is its greatest asset, because rationalism itself sets artificial limits on all that we've seen -- which itself is hinting at something greater that can't be seen. In this book, he turns the tables on the cult of reason, showing that it limits conversation to what happened, when what we really want is the why behind it. www.noargumentforgod.com
