BettyMc avatar reviewed Not God's Type: A Rational Academic Finds a Radical Faith on
Holly Ordway, an atheist English professor who wonders what faith means, feels a new hunger. She realizes her fencing coach, Josh, has strong Christian beliefs without being a pushy-type of guy. He is her intellectual equal, thus they have many conversations about morality and God.

Some of the philosophical arguments were difficult for me to understand, however Ordways metaphors, which are actually Joshs metaphors, are a delight to read. Theres a paper coffee cup in a casino in Nevada. Holly wanders in the countryside of the kingdom, and stands on the edge of a moral precipice. Josh speaks of aviation and buying the plane ticket.
