Dinesh D'Souza’s new book Life After Death: The Evidence is published in November 2009 by Regnery. It is the first book to make the case for life after death on the basis of reason alone.  Drawing on evidence from a wide range of fields—physics, biology, psychology, brain science, and philosophy—D’Souza shows that a preponderance of the evidence favors life after death.  In his Foreword, Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, terms the book “explosive in its impact.”

 

D'Souza has been called one of the "top young public-policy makers in the country" by Investor’s Business Daily. The New York Times Magazine named him one of America's most influential conservative thinkers. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation's 500 leading authorities on international issues. Newsweek cited him as one of the country's most prominent Asian Americans.

 

D’Souza is cofounder and director of the Y God Institute, an organization that advances a better understanding of Christianity in the world.  A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D'Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.  He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983.

 

Mr. D'Souza's books have had a major influence on public opinion and public policy. His 1991 book Illiberal Education was the first study to publicize the phenomenon of political correctness. The book was widely acclaimed and became a New York Times bestseller for 15 weeks. It has been listed as one of the most influential books of the 1990's.

 

In 1995 D'Souza published The End of Racism, which became one of the most controversial books of the time and a national bestseller. D"Souza's 1997 book Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader was the first book to make the case for Reagan's intellectual and political importance. In 2000, D'Souza published The Virtue of Prosperity: Finding Values in an Age of Techno Affluence, which explores the social and moral implications of wealth.

 

In 2002 he published his New York Times bestseller What’s So Great About America, which was critically acclaimed for its thoughtful patriotism. His 2003 book Letters to a Young Conservative has become a handbook for a new generation of young conservatives inspired by D'Souza's style and ideas. The Enemy at Home, published in 2006, stirred up a furious debate both on the left and the right; even so, it became a national bestseller and will be published in paperback, January 2008, with a new Afterword by the author responding to his critics.

 

In 2007 D’Souza turned his attention to Christian apologetics, publishing the New York Times bestseller What’s So Great About Christianity.  This book, which has been compared to C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity, offers a comprehensive rebuttal to the so-called new atheists who have been attacking God and religion as harmful for individuals and for society.

 

D'Souza's articles have appeared in virtually every major magazine and newspaper, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, and National Review. He has appeared on numerous television programs, including the Today Show, Nightline, The News Hour, O'Reilly Factor, Moneyline, and Hannity.

 

D'Souza speaks at top universities, business groups, civic groups, and churches across the country.
