This collection of essays is divided into two parts. The first part is Journeys and the second part is Reflections. The essays are relatively short as they are about 10-20 pages.
The essays in Journeys are autobiographical. They describe how the essay writer grew up with religion and how he or she became an atheist. It includes perspectives from Jewish people and Christian people. It was noteworthy that a lot of the stories were similar. I almost thought I had just read some of them. It also stood out to me that a lot of the people were heavily religious before they became atheist.
The essays in Reflections cover a range of ideas related to atheism. One considers whether there can be transcendence without God. A couple consider how we can have ethics and morality without God. Others of them tackle belief and the nature of God. They cover some of the same ground but have different perspectives and opinions on the same questions.
I would recommend this to those interested in atheism or philosophy.
