Answers To Tough Questions

Summary: Too Simplistic
Review: I am a Christian myself, but this book didn't offer me much in the way of logical arguments. Serious topics are skimmed over simplistically and unconvincingly, and it is occasionally embarrassing, with them insisting that evolution must be wrong because it violates the second law of thermodynamics! ! I also disagree with many of their views, and found that the answers they gave would hardly convince many skeptics. It would be quite useful as a first apologetics book for people who aren't well-versed in philosophy or deeper dealings with subjects, though I don't recommend it.

There is no finer resource at this price to get into the hands of people you meet who have sincere questions about Christianity.

If every church in America could order a case of these for its members to first read then pass along to a friend, imagine the impact for eternity! Every church member should be acquainted with the issues covered in this book to be better equipped to handle the questions they are too often asked. Must reading!

Summary: A quick read that skims interesting ideas
Review: This book is a simpler version of many other Josh McDowell books, like "Evidence that Demands a Verdict." I first read this book after going to church for ten years, but finding myself wanting the have faith in my heart but not in my mind. This book did a nice job of convincing me to open my eyes and look further. Certainly, Mr. McDowell does a nice job of presenting his arguments clearly and concisely, but overall the book lacks depth and completeness. He tends to justify faith through the use of the Bible, which could be a problem to a skeptic looking for persuasive arguments. A beginning Christian will find a lot of interesting material to support and extend their faith, but a strong skeptic will at best only be persuaded to look at more evidence. This book might be ideal for a younger Christian or skeptic, who wants to understand the basis for certain beliefs. Overall, I would recommend this because it is a quick read, but don't expect it to be a complete reference guide.

Summary: A Great Starting Point
Review: This book may not have all of the answers but it is a great starting point for some of the tough questions that we all wonder about. I would highly recommend this for any new Christians or people searching for more perspectives about the Christian faith. I think it is important to keep in mind that this is a limited perspective on questions facing the Christian faith. Nevertheless this makes for a good book for beginners to the Christian faith or for young adults who are starting to question their beliefs.
