Book Overview
Who doesn't have questions about God? But where in the world can you go to get answers? Eric Metaxas has been there, so he gets it. Which is why he's written this shockingly down-to-earth book on the big questions everyone asks (but not always out loud). Totally conversational and sometimes flat-out hilarious, this book asks: * How can a good God create a world that has evil and suffering? * Is God anti-sex? * Doesn't science make God obsolete? * What's the real story on miracles? * If God is everywhere, why go to church? * Don't we already have God within us? * Isn't God too busy running the universe to care about the details of my day? These questions (and many more) get no-nonsense answers that don't hide behind dull theological language. So get the lowdown (and more than a few laughs) on what are probably the most important questions anyone has.

Making God Relevant with a touch of humor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
An extremely well written book that gives one a basis for a better understanding of God. It has a very catchy and readable style. The humor may elicit some out loud laughs. It's thoughtful, doctrinal and practical all at the same time. A very difficult balance to attain. This is a great read for the serious theologian. It is also a great book for the person who doesn't know what they believe and are just seeking truth. The line between deep theology and just plain fun can rarely live together between the same covers. When it happens we should get a case and pass them out in Central Park...or Kubul.
Everything you wanted to know about God...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Excellent book, starts with basic questions one usually has about God and continues on, in an easy to understand fashion,to very deep aspects of believing in the triune God. The author uses a logical question and answer format that is easy to digest and can be used whenever the reader has a few minutes to invest in his/her soul.
A Fantastic and Greatly Needed Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
In a world awash with Christian books trying to "checkmate" people into agreeing with Christian truth, Eric Metaxas' book is a wonderfully refreshing island of balance, humor, and sensibility. I cannot count how many times an average non-Christian or nominal Christian has asked me for a book recommendation to help them understand what Christianity is really all about. I have also lost count how many times I have given them some super-heady tome (for lack of options), only for them to come back to me and say that the book was too "top shelf" or too aggressive. "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God (but were afraid to ask)" is a literal Godsend for precisely these kinds of situations. In a bright, non-threatening, and witty manner, Metaxas gives classic Christian answers to some really tough questions -- but in a way -- and this is key! -- that respects the reader as a friend and valued conversation partner. This book is a rare find. Order a box of them and give them out as presents to your friends and family.
C.S. Lewis for the ipod Era
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I picked up this book last night and immediately dove in. It's funny, enlightening, breezy and persuasive--the perfect thing for a believer to give his (her) semi- or un-believing girl (boy) friend. Reminds me of all the C.S. Lewis books I gave away to good-looking lasped Christian girls in college and grad school. I'll probably end up giving this one away, too--but not till I've finished reading it and enjoying it. An apologetics book that will slip past people's defenses and make them think. I recommend it highly.
