If you want a non-mathematician friendly introduction, "Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Methods for Hackers" [0] is a good place to start. For a motivating application, chapter 2 walks through using probabilistic programming for A/B testing.

Wow, that's great. The examples section is extensive and answers my question very well. I'll be sure to read the book.
