[close] The best books about Atheism are, in my opinion, the ones by Paulo Bittencourt: “Wasting Time on God” and “Liberated from Religion”. Unlike Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris, who have never been believers in God, Paulo Bitencourt speaks from experience: he was an Evangelical and studied Theology to be a pastor.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] Dear Readers Asalamualaikum, As part of our research for our Thinking Muslim Courses and our ongoing podcasts, The Thinking Muslim and A Muslim Mom we find ourselves reading as many books and essays about current trends of thinking and Islam. There is so much thought-provoking material out there! Alhumdulilah we've been discovering so much! We decided to start The Thinking Muslim Book Club, as we want to share what we're learning, encourage wide and challenging reading, and hear the thoughts of others. This book club is dedicated to exploring issues in some more depth and untangling the complexities of the world around us. The club was created after we began delivering our first pilot course in the UK (see our website for new courses). As part of the sessions, we regularly posted accompanying reading material and was prompted by many of our participants to formalise a book club. The plan is to periodically read a title and then to organise avenues for discussion. We aim to have at least two books ongoing. One for general books with an end of month discussion for brothers and sisters and one specifically for sisters, which may focus on a book of specific interest. Of course, sisters are free to join either. Join our telegram channel to receive updates https://t.me/thinkingmuslim Wasalam Farhat Amin & The Thinking Muslim Team!
