Summary: An Excellent introductory apologetics - great for seekers!
Review: I stumbled across this book a year ago at a thrift store. I had been out of the faith for 18 years, and this helped me immensely get past many of the misconceptions I had from my youth. It was as though this was written exclusively for my life and thoughts. I now give away this book to seekers or potential seekers. Its size isn't daunting, but gives an excellent overview of many of the most stifling objections to Christianity. It starts out, appropriately, setting the mindset for the reader to read and explore the contents with an open mind. Many stories and biblical references, as well as references to other resources.
With this, I was able to look at my spiritual journey anew, was open enough to find a church that satisfied my adult need for spiritual growth (even though completely different than the denomination of my youth) and now even my wife had accepted Jesus as her Lord.

Summary: Excellent and Informative
Review: If you're curious about Christianity, or are searching for spiritual truth, this book is excellent for answering your questions. It is well-written and easy to understand, having a purpose to inform and let you make your own decisons, rather than convert directly. White's anecdotes and analogies are helpful and interesting.

Summary: Short, simple, says what it needs to...
Review: J.E.White does an incredible job of weaving stories and Truth together to crank out a work that is both readable and enlightening... A great book in a few cases... 1) If you are a Christ-follower and have a friend who has questions... and you're not sure where to go for answers... they are very accesible in this book. 2) If you have a friend who would read it... who is searching Truth themselves... Buy them the book (and you read it, too, so that you can discuss the concepts). 3) If you are seeking Truth... Definitely a good one to read. I know, there's a lot of stuff out there that's out of balance, or hard to wade through... not so here.

Summary: A Great Witnessing Tool
Review: James Emery White's new book, A Search for the Spiritual is a compact tour de force writen to guide the unsaved to a life with Jesus Christ. The book, however, will be an inspiration to anyone who reads it. I plan on giving my copy to an unsaved friend tonight. This book presents a succinct and thoroughly researched brief as to why humans are spiritual persons and why Christianity has been such a powerful force for the past 2000 years. It is because Jesus is the Son of God. Accept Him and your life will change forever!

Summary: An Excellent introductory apologetics - great for seekers!
Review: This answers many of those nagging questions that we use for excuses for not really examining our faith. What about evolution? Is the Bible really credible? Why is there so much suffering? Aren't all religions essentially the same? Why do Christians commit sin? Why do Christians seem so strange? These are the sorts of questions that get answered. I wish I had read this as a teenager. I would recommend giving this book to anyone who needs help getting over these common hurdles that keep us from the Christian faith.

Summary: Great Evangelistic Tool
Review: White has succeeded in writing for this generation's searching unbelievers. I highly recommend this book as a gift for a person you know who is trying to understand the Christian position. Dr. Ralph W. Neighbour, Jr.
