Leave it to Amy Biddle to make the search for moral and spiritual answers in our daily lives nothing less than hip. Funny, gritty and brutally honest about the state of the human heart, The Atheist Pray speaks for a generation in perhaps the most understated way possible. The road to salvation can be sad, funny and often deadly.
Candy (my favorite character) is a stripper with a lot of baggage, but with a cool exterior, she doesn’t let on. Hank is a dude, perhaps the most memorable dude since The Dude. He’s a hardcore atheist and borderline alcoholic with a messy dog. The main plot involves Hank and Candy trying to save a couple of young children from a suicide cult, but the novel’s real theme is about how screwed up, everyday people find salvation – one way or another. Its also about how others get lost along the way. The Atheist’s Prayer is not a “deep” read, its actually very funny. Biddle is never heavy handed, she never pretends to have the answers, she only shows us flawed people trying to do the right thing...or not doing the right thing.
With a snappy plot, excellent dialogue and tremendous character development, The Atheist’s Prayer is an effortless read. Its also one of those books you’ll be thinking about long after you put it down.
