  • The Agnostic's Tale reviewed

    28 Nov 2013

    “I enjoyed Mr. Rae’s approach. While he ended up retaining his non belief, he retained his respect for the tradition of religion and respected it’s followers and leaders. I would suggest this book to those who’d like to see a variety of answers to the same questions, by both believers and unbelievers, it’s a easy thought provoking read.”
