Why Us? - Best written critique of Evolution in our times. (IMHO)

Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of OurselvesJames Le Fanu, author and medical doctor among his many life accomplishments, has won a prominent place on my book shelf in defense of non-Darwinian world-view.  A master with words and logic, James invites you to dare think outside the restrictive Darwinian box and face the truth like a man (or woman).  This work is a beautifully illustrated and written direct attack on some of the most fundamental assumptions of modern biology and all of it's relevant disciplines.

Audio Book Pick

The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to FaithPeter Hitchens, brother of Christopher Hitchens, converted to Christianity after seeing firsthand the results of atheism's effect on society while working as a foreign news corespondent in the former USSR before the fall of the Iron Curtain.  Peter lays out the thesis of his latest work in this video.

Although Peter's accent took some getting used to for a "Yank" like myself, I would recommend the audio version of the book to get the full effect of Peter's timely message.
At the least, it's an encouragement to us that feel downtrodden at times by the scope and intensity of attacks on our faith to see such a prominent figure stepping out and defending Christianity.  At best, it is another salvo of truth against the enemy of all souls.
