BERIMAN TANPA RASA TAKUT
Bacaan-bacaan yang Dianjurkan
AKU INGIN Beriman Tanpa Rasa Takut terasa seperti sebuah percakapan, sehingga aku memilih untuk tidak menginterupsi alur surat terbuka ini dengan catatan-catatan sumber di batang tubuh karangan. Alih-alih, Anda bisa menemukan semua catatan sumber di website-ku: www.irshadmanji.com.
Dalam pada itu, inilah sampel bacaan yang kusarankan untuk Anda baca. Aku tidak setuju secara nurani dengan beberapa pengarang yang kuanjurkan pada Anda untuk membaca karya mereka. Tetapi, aku percaya bahwa perbedaan pendapat adalah rahmat. Daftar berikut ini tidak mencakup semua risetku. Website-ku memuat banyak sumber lain, mencakup kumpulan wawancara, ceramah-ceramah, dan video klip.
