Book that Might be Good to Give to a Friend

Just finished Not God’s Type by Holly Ordway.  This would be a good book to give a friend who is seeking or investigating Christian faith.  She claims to have been a total atheist, a rationalist, and a scholar (she has a Ph.D. in English yet she doesn’t tell us what she’s published in literary criticism).  At times I felt she was giving herself too much credit, and it was a little off-putting, but she writes well and it might help someone to understand apologetics.   What I would have liked from her is a greater sense that what really motivated her search was not her great brain and rationalism but a sense of lostness and pointlessness in the universe that her world view gave her.  Atheism, to me, is more a matter of will than reason, although there are maybe one or two rational reasons to reject belief in God (and a lot more to accept it).  You might ask, what are they?  Reasons that don’t hold up well, but the seeming indifference of God to human suffering (which you only appreciate if there is an objective moral standard in the first place, an argument for God) would be one.    Randomness is another, but again that is seeming.  Atheists don’t go below the surface, I think.
