The crisis of faith in modern society became personal for the author from the experience of a priest gone bad and an atheist gone good. This provoked three questions that form the core of the book:

1. Can we be good without God? Some of the arguments of the new atheists, along with the 10 modern myths about faith.

2. Are we better off with religion? A review of various sociological studies reveals a surprising picture of the real results of religion (specifically Christianity).

3. Am I better off with God? A personal approach to the question about God is topped off with the moving stories of three prominent atheists who became Christian.
