{"product_id":"irony-nick-white-9781542372565","title":"Irony: Evidence for God","description":"Of all the evidences for God to be found on the Wiki page 'Existence of God', you won't find irony listed. In fact, historically, writers have used irony to argue against God. Literary giants like Voltaire used irony to obliterate faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what if the real irony of Alanis Morissette's iconic song was that the lyrics really were ironic after all? What if God had created irony to hint at his existence? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis non-fiction book is written for the agnostics, the seekers, the doubters, the sceptics. It is not primarily aimed at believers or atheists (although these two groups will find it interesting). It is particularly aimed at those who find it difficult not to blame a seemingly malevolent God when things go wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is a practical book which doesn't shy away from the fact that God allows negative irony to take place within our lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the book I call for a wider definition of the word in keeping with today's understanding. Language evolves and for many people irony today is not the strict dictionary definition. Irony can also be hypocrisy, 'crazy bad luck' and even serendipity. But we live in post-ironic, post-truth, and post-God times - we are far too sophisticated to accept dogmas which we may have been expected to accept in the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo how can irony be evidence for a benevolent God? To find that out you may need to read this book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book won't resolve the issue of suffering. It won't make you rich or make your tweets go viral.'Why should I read your book then?' I hear you think. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirstly, because, you may want to know why everything is currently conspiring to keep you from reading it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSecondly, because it's original and brings fresh ideas forward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThirdly, because it's shiny?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542372569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542372565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.34d","brand":"Nick White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938300461311,"sku":"9781542372565","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_88782da7-9e4c-4efe-b5bc-824bcc571bfc.jpg?v=1681434892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irony-nick-white-9781542372565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
