Faith is a dynamic thing, a lively thing, of asking questions and finding answers.
~ Danielle D’Souza
In Y God, Danielle D’Souza addresses 32 of the most interesting and pressing questions being asked about God by believers and skeptics alike. Rather than coming across as having all the answers, Danielle puts her ideas in the form of a conversation. Yet at her core she has convictions that come from a faith rooted in her heart as well as her head. Y God will appeal to millennials (the Y generation) and anyone who has ever had doubts about the Biblical story of God.
Some of the questions include:
Is faith reasonable?
Is the Bible literally true?
Are other religions false?
Does anyone deserve hell?
Is science at war with religion?
If Jesus did exist, who was he?
Are miracles really possible?
Is God the author of morality?
Is America a “Christian nation”?
Why do people become atheists?
Is evolution compatible with the Bible?
How would Christianity change my life?
Reviews
It’s now quite obvious that the amazing Dinesh D’Souza has in fact learned all that he knows from his brilliant daughter, Danielle! So, if you want the real thing, straight from the source, why not skip the middleman and read this book? Seriously, if you have a teenager, you must get this! Tremendous.

Sparing young readers the burdens of theological and doctrinal subtlety, Danielle D’Souza provides sound and instructive glosses on the very foundations of Christianity. Along the way, she liberates young readers from the chains of ignorant prejudice and “selective” histories as she locates the central place of Christianity in the forging and preservation of western civilization.

Danielle D’Souza certainly did not fall far from the tree—her first book foreshadows a vocation as a writer and thinker who is both precocious and influential. Her achievement here is to create reasoned responses to difficult criticisms of Christianity that are often thrown at young people today and to translate them into “teenagerese.” My own teenage granddaughter verified for me the aptness of the translation, and its range and depth impressed her—no easy thing to do, I have found.

Danielle D’Souza (daughter of embattled author Dinesh D’Souza) tackles complex issues succinctly and with a fresh, blog-like style. What could be more relevant than a high school student explaining creationism versus evolution to other high school kids by using YouTube as a reference? D’Souza might not give older writers a run for their money when it comes to research, but her book will certainly show that young people do care about matters of faith and can address them fearlessly. —Publishers Weekly
