An excellent starting point into apologetics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent book to get you started with apologetics. I loved it!. Alex McFarland does a great job at explaining and providing solid answers to the most common objections we face, as believers, on a regular basis. I highly recommend this book.
Reviewer Staehle apparently hasn't read the book.

C. M. Staehle gives poor justification for his premise that the book is about God creating the earth "approximately 6000 years ago." But, in fact, the book makes no such claim. Only ignorant souls will profit from his book review. Staehle apparently hasn't read the book. Read the book objectively and come to your own conclusions regarding the evidence that Alex McFarland presents. He makes a good case and the book is well worth reading.
Important and informative read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Every intelligent, moral, law-abiding person knows God doesn't exist, right? Wrong. In this book by Alex McFarland with a Foreword by apologist Lee Strobel, atheism, agnosticism, creationism, and other belief systems of our culture are debunked. Christian answers to your questions about God, human intelligence and common sense, as well as people's innate moral compass, are presented in a straightforward, easy-to-read style. McFarland, an apologetic, or in layperson terms, someone who defends the Bible, uses catchy chapter and section titles along with cliches that actually work to get his message about God across to both Christians and non-Christians alike. It doesn't matter which side of the fence you lean against, this book is for everyone. The writing is simplistic enough for the younger crowd, especially those searching for answers to some of their faith-based questions. The use of footnotes and the simple breadth of information about Darwin, Nietzsche, as well as God, society, culture, religion and historical events, are phenomenal. Not only are questions such as: "Why does a loving God let bad things happen?" or "Would God really send someone to hell?" answered, but call-out quotations and end of the chapter Summary Responses add to your reading experience. If you do or don't believe in God, reading McFarland's book will get you thinking and arm you with information as well as biblical passages to look up for you to question your belief system or strengthen it. This book contains an enormous amount of information, and not just about Christianity. Armchair Interviews says: A must-read for anyone, no matter what your position is on God and the Bible.
