I also admire the effort he put into learning more about religious beliefs as too many science authors get it wrong. Some authors talking about Judaism or Christianity have as much credibility as Ken Ham or Kirk Cameron trying to talk about biology. Dr. Prothero took pains to not make those common errors derived from ignorance and arrogance.

This newest book looks good, and I have a young niece who would probably enjoy it (will have to buy myself a copy as well, of course).

I just bought the book as a Christmas present for a young budding biologist. I hope it helps him reach his a great future.
