Do science and Scripture conflict? Are miracles possible? Is Christian experience real? Why does God allow suffering and evil? In this classic answerbook on Christian faith, Paul E. Little responds to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is an excellent introduction to apologetics. The chapters are organised according to questions that unbelievers often ask. The chapters are easy to read and they present the facts in a concise, intelligent, and convincing way. This book helped me realise how little I know, for example about the historical evidence for Jesus, and I found myself wanting to memorize portions of the book. I have been memorizing parts of this book, and I have been reading it over and over. I recommend it to all believers who need an introduction to apologetics.
Simple enough for every Christian layperson

For the Christian who is scared of "apologetics" because he thinks it means he has to "apologize," here's a book that doesn't get too technical but has plenty of good information about the defense of the faith. So often Christians don't have adequate answers to give to those who ask of them, as 1 Peter 3:15-16 commands, and so a book like this that is so readable and understandable can provide some ammunition the next time the skeptic questions the faith. Included at the end of each chapter are questions that can be used in a group or individual study.
my favorite apologetics book

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!
Getting To Know Yourself Too!

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
great book to have or give
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I think that this book is a must have for any Christian, and also a great book to give to believers and potential believers (everyone else).The book really does a great job preparing a Christian for knowledgably witnessing to people. And I think it also really confirms Christians in their faith. I have found it good to give this book as a gift to someone who you know is contemplating God and all of his wonderful ways.
