520    With or Without Me is an unsparing and eloquent critique 
       of religion. Yet Esther Maria Magnis's ire is merely the 
       beginning of an exceptional journey toward belief and God-
       a journey punctuated by personal losses retold with 
       intense immediacy. "Maybe God is a sadist," she writes, "a
       big baby who had a terrible upbringing. If, as Christians 
       claim, God is love, then it's a kind of love I do not 
       understand." She dares to believe anyway, although her 
       questioning won't let up. She fiercely dismantles both the
       clichéd phrases she's heard in church and the vague 
       progressive pieties of her parents' generation. Esther 
       Maria Magnis knows believing in God is anything but easy. 
       Because he allows people to suffer. Because he's 
       invisible. And silent. "I think we miss God," she writes, 
       "I would never want to persuade anyone or put myself above
       atheists. I know there are good reasons not to believe. 
       But sometimes I think most people are just sad that he's 
       not there." With or Without Me is a book for everyone-
       believer or unbeliever, Christian or atheist-who refuses 
       to surrender to the idea that, just because there can be 
       beauty and truth, there must also be clear answers to the 
       big questions in life.
