    About this audiobook

    Everybody seems to take it for granted that the world is getting more secular-that faith is doomed by modernity. Scientists, secularists, and atheists applaud the change; religious believers lament it. But here's the thing: they're all wrong, and acclaimed author Rodney Stark has the numbers to prove it.

    The Triumph of Faith explodes the myth that people around the world are abandoning religion. In this lively, eye-opening book, Stark marshals an unprecedented body of data-surveys of more than a million people in 163 nations-to paint the full picture that both scholars and popular commentators have missed. He examines why this astonishing growth of religion is happening and what it means for our future.

      What an Excellent book,A brilliant book,this book makes a great survey of the religious case of the World,and it challenges the the common concept between us that the world is becoming more and more Secular and people are losing their faith, you will be surprised that actually the opposite is true and the world is becoming more religious,and he explains this by numbers and statistics from all over the world.
      I am Muslim and I know very well that a lot of information about Islamic Societies are biased but that is very common from the Western scholars either religious or no,something very predictable,I didn't expect the opposite, despite of this point the book is excellent and very useful, thanks a lot.

      Fr. Amorth clearly explains the ways of the beings of the supernatural world that we are in battle with and fills the reader with the Divine hope of the certainty of Who wins in the end.
