Reciting the Quran without understanding what it meant was simply a part of life; so too was obeying the imam & enduring beatings when he failed to attend the local mosque. Shaha was more drawn to science & its power to illuminate. As a teen he lived between two worlds: the home controlled by his authoritarian father & a school alive with books & ideas. In a charming blend of memoir philosophy & science Shaha explores the questions about faith & the afterlife that we all ponder. Through a series of loose lessons he tells his own compelling story drawing on the theories of some of historys greatest thinkers & interrogating the fallacies that have impeded humanity for centuries.
