Human Perspectives Magazine: HP237: Book Review: The God Effect: How Suggestion And Ritual Shape Religion And Medicine Through Placebo Responses By Colin Brewer

https://humanistperspectives.org/237/book-review-the-god-effect-how-suggestion-and-ritual-shape-religion-and-medicine-through-placebo-responses-by-colin-brewer/

It was my pleasure to read Colin Brewer’s new book The God Effect on the invitation of his publisher. Dr. Brewer, who practised psychiatry for more than four decades, has a warm and personable writing style combined with a dry British sense of humour that makes his work a delightful read.

Human Perspectives Magazine: HP237: Book Review: Beyond Belief: A Former Fundamentalist Examines the Case for God by David C. Monkcom

https://humanistperspectives.org/237/book-review-beyond-belief-a-former-fundamentalist-examines-the-case-for-god-by-david-c-monkcom/
