A bit of balance, please...
Okay, this book won't change the world or finally resolve the debate over the existence of God. But, hey, what do you expect from a book with this title and at a cost of £3.99? So, previous 1-star reviewers, get some perspective. Likewise, it is definitely not a 5-star either. On balance, I'd say a 3.5 or a 4, so it has to be a 4. As with a fellow reviewer, I too have all Arden's books. For anyone new to him, expect a very different and personal slant on whatever subject Arden is tackling - and here it is Arden's take on the concept of God. Some stuff you'll definitely disagree with, but I suspect Arden would be disappointed if that wasn't the case.
Don't waste your time reading or buying this 
Having purchased 'It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be' which I thought was a great read and would have no doubt recommending, I was very disappointed with this book - I actually thought it was a complete waste of my time and money. I'd only recommend reading it in a bookshop if you have nothing better to do!
Ummm? 
Having read Paul's two books on creative thinking, this was not as interesting or as mind opening. In fact it's not at all in the same category as it's about God. A few interesting ironies about religion (many I've read before). The comment about the price different religions charge - Christianity is free, Scientologists demand all is an interesting marketing thought. It's tone is a bit mixed. And yes you can read it in 20 minutes. Though I read mine in the bathroom, cheaper than a taxi. Sadly, Paul is now on the other side having died recently. A great loss to the creative community.
It Gets You Thinking... 
I loved this book and by the time I got to the end, Paul Arden's conclusion was what I suspected all along. If you think it's not for you, he isn't asking you to believe in God, even if you you're a staunch atheist. You'll find this book gives you food for thought. It's so easy to read (10 mins tops!!!) and he asks all the right questions.
