Authors get blurbs all the time, but here’s one I found pretty remarkable. It appears in Dinesh D’Souza’s new book What’s So Great about Christianity:
"As an unbeliever I passionately disagree with Dinesh D’Souza on some of his positions. But he is a first-rate scholar whom I feel absolutely compelled to read. His thorough research and elegant prose have elevated him into the top ranks of those who champion liberty and individual responsibility. Now he adds Christianity to his formula for a good society, and although non-Christians and non-theists may disagree with some of his arguments, we ignore him at our peril. D’Souza’s book takes the debate to a new level. Read it."
– Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine
Whatever you may think of D’Souza, Shermer, skeptics, or Christianity, I have just one question for you:
Can you imagine James Randi ever providing a quote like this?

P.S. Although I don’t accept its central argument, I still found D’Souza’s provocative book The Enemy at Home intensely interesting and hard to put down. But be warned: whether you’re a conservative or a liberal, the book will infuriate you. Guaranteed.
