Answers to Tough Questions Skeptics Ask About the Christian Faith

This book is an excellent source of abbreviated answers to questions that weak Christians may have at times with regards to issues in the Christian faith. What it is NOT is an in-depth study. It is also NOT recommended for non-believers because no amount of apologetics will convince them of anything. The answers to the questions are only a page and a half or less in length, so if you are looking for a more complete apologetic, take a look at "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" by McDowell or "The Lie: Evolution" by Ken Ham. Some websites such as www.answersingenesis.org or www.christiananswers.net or www.gotquestions.org are useful too. They all have much more to offer. Still, I would never discourage anyone from buying this book. It is clear, consise, and was useful to me during my earlier times of questioning the faith. If you are struggling, go ahead and buy this and have your doubts put to rest.

This book provides tough answers to basic questions that non-Christians and Christians may have. Its not supposed to be some full apologetic reference! Its just a book giving you the basic answers to tough questions and I think that they did a wonderful job. The truth is that no matter what or how good a book is written, skeptics won't be convinced if they don't want to be. No book or debate can convince a person if they're not going to be open to God. Not everyone will be a follower of Jesus. There is such a thing as free will. The authors did a wonderful job of identifying the hard questions. They really helped me. This is a basic book for anyone wanting to understand the harder questions of the Bible. The book doesn't claim to be some all knowing reference apologetic book & its not. It just answers the basic questions that people might have like why there are two accounts of creation in the Bible, etc.

Looking for a powerful yet 'readable in one sitting' answer to many of your Bible questions? Need an inexpensive witnessing tool for your church or personal outreach? There is no finer resource at this price to get into the hands of people you meet who have sincere questions about Christianity. Not intended to be exhaustive, but a great door opener for the serious seeker. 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!

Josh puts together the questions that are eating away in the hearts of sceptics and provides solid intelectual answers. This is a grear follow up book after those late night Q & A sessions with a friend. Or, better yet, read it and use it when sharing with others. Its also a good "foundational strenghthening" for "old" Christians!! Got to have it in the collection!

Anyone who is a real seeker of truth should read this book. Answers to Tough Questions is one of the greatest concise compilations of evidence for the Christian faith. Josh McDowell, a former skeptic himself, answers questions about the claims of Jesus Christ, His miracles, Biblical authenticity & difficulties. He contrasts Christianity with other world religions while providing historical and archeaological confirmation of the validity of the Christian faith. This book read along with "Reasons Skeptics should consider Christianity" by Josh will convince any truth-seeker that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be....God. Josh quotes some of C.S. Lewis' writings and arguments which convince people to consider the evidence of Christianity. Lewis was a former atheist but found that after investigating the overwhelming verification of Christianity, he was dragged "kicking and screaming into the kingdom of God".
