Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: I'm very interested in apologetics, and this is exactly what I wanted! The language is easy to understand, but the meaning and explanations go much deeper. Some of the points Little discusses are a little confusing, but for the most part, he explains it very well. There are separate chapters for each reason we believe. The major reasons are covered in this book, and because of that, the book doesn't drag on and on, covering each minute detail. This is a wonderful read for someone wanting to know why they believe.
Rating: Summary: Nice summary of answers to common questions Review: My wife asked me to read this book to see if it was any good- so I did. Like most reviewers, I enjoyed this book despite its simplicity. It is pretty short, easy to follow, and worth the time spent reading it. I was somewhat familiar with certain sections of the book, but enjoyed the pragmatic way that Paul Little presents the Christian view to the reader.The context for the book is that Paul Little wanted to provide answers to the 12 most common questions he received when discussing Christianity on college campuses. He fulfills his purpose, and provides many references, and additional materials to research if you want to go deeper into any particular subject. You will most likely not be interested in all 12 topics discussed, but it makes sense that most Christians should have some familiarity with these questions, and the basic answers provided in this book. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick introduction to apologetics, or different ways to answer the questions that may arise as you share your faith with others.
Rating: Summary: Solid Theology for the beginer Review: Paul Littel has done an execlet job with this book. He gives a basic overview of the Christian faith in simple easy to understand language. excelent for HS to college students wanting to start a Teolgical study.
Rating: Summary: my favorite apologetics book Review: This book was written in simple language, so it's easy to read. It is full of support from Bible verses and outside sources (archaeology, famous quotes, etc.). Paul E. Little is reminiscent of C.S. Lewis because both of them show that you don't have sacrifice science and rationality for Christianity. I've read a couple other apologetics books (The Case for Christ and Basic Christianity), and they don't come close!

Rating: Summary: A simple, worthwhile book for beginning Christians Review: This is a simple, thoughtful book for beginning Christians and is a great review for older, more mature Christians. I would also suggest "Know What You Believe" by Paul Little, and "Know the Truth" by Bruce Milne.

Rating: Summary: Getting To Know Yourself Too! Review: We are currently using this book in our Mommies with Babies Sunday School class. For some students I thought it would be a refresher topic, but it truly had us stumped and really made every one think and rethink. This is not just casual reading. Be ready to work when you open this book, but expect great rewards! Shawn
