The Qur'an. So he can see that there are other faiths out there that flatly contradict Christianity but believe just as wholeheartedly that they have the truth.
Any objective book that spells out the agenda of religion.
Like such a book even exists?
"I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek is outstanding. It costs less than $11 at amazon.com. You might want a copy for yourself.
There is a God, by Anthony Flew. He was an atheist who spent his entire life trying to convince people there wasn't a god. At 80 years old he converted.

The book itself I found to be quite deep, scientifically speaking—But, not too hard to understand, and, scriptural nonetheless! (;
I have a book by Norman Geisler %26amp; Thomas Howe titled "When Critics Ask." It's a handbook to Bible difficulties. I found it extremely helpful in answering some of my questions to difficult passages in the Bible. Might not be the right kind of book for your friend. Not sure.
Additionally - I am a former Atheist. I became a Christian or as I identify myself "a follower of Christ" because many Christan Churches aren't teaching Christ's teachings. The way I came to Christ was because I almost died. Didn't flat line, so I can't say it was a NDE. But what it was changed me forever. In the limbo between life/death, both Satan and Christ was there for me. I can assure both are very real. Just throwing that out. There are many like me out there. We may or may not be a good source of info.
I'd ask him what kind of book he'd like. Does he want to know more
about the bible, or more about people's experiences in the bible,
or miracles in the bible or people's experiences in the bible,
or more about Jesus Christ? Does he want to know more about
what prayer does? And on it goes. Then I'd go online to see
what I thought, there's so much. I'd keep in mind what sort
of person he was also....liberal views, more strict etc.
I'd get him things that lined up with this because I find
it hard to read things way off from my own ways.
