Now, That's a Good Question: Answers to Questions about Life and Faith

Once again, R.C. Sproul uses his conversational style to shed light on tough questions in Scripture. His insights and deep understanding of the Bible should help any serious student of Scripture. I recommend this book highly. Samuel Hall

I am a Christian who has been studying the bible for about five years, and I still have much to learn. I love to read books that ask the tough questions and try to answer them based on the bible! I read another review of this book saying it does not do that; I respectfully disagree. I believe Mr. Sproul has given us an intelligent, succinct, well-thought-out answer to many of the difficult questions that come up about the Christian faith. I pick the book up and re-read it often, as I can always find something new. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an educated approach to questions we sometimes hear from others, or even come up with ourselves!

Concise, grace filled answers to a Large variety of questions a new babe in Christ might ask - or an older one - or a "friend" with whom you would like to share eternity by sharing the gospel , but need some helpful intro. Good gift choice because erudite/sharp, but directed toward a short/sound bite/rushing around society like most of USA. Thought provoking answers with many delightful and almost surprising; filled with light and peace-filled grace. Sproul explains in foreword that these are not exhausting answers, thus very good opportunity to begin conversations and ( together ) search scriptures to test these "prophesies". I really, really like his intro statement ( I paraphase ) and reminder - that we are ALL fallen creatures ( even the marvelously talented students like Sproul ), thus will definitely sin in our interpretations/explanations. Really need to recover personal responsibility to study scripture ourselves and work within His community to test and allow for accountability. This seems like a simple, " like- duh " admonition and exhoration, but not in practice as you know whether in this 'postmodern' age or in the earliest church communities.Who else will give this type gift to your or my friend or new acquaintance at Christmas or any of the many Christian holidays or his/her b'day?

Having this book in my library is quite valuable. It allows me access to sound theological and reasoned answers to many question that pop into my head. This is not meant to be a highly technical book, but of the more general question variety. It is very good at what it does. I would assume Sproul wrote this so he wouldn't have to answer so much mail on the same questions. So if you like the wit and wisdom of Sproul, I highly recommend this book. Not so much to read through, but for reference use. Especially if you question a lot and desire answers.

Dr. Sproul does an excellent job of addressing tough questions we face everyday. He breaks up the book into eleven sections. Each section contains numerous questions. This book is an excellent reference. I also notice that visitors are always picking it up. Therefore it is an excellent tool in evangalism.
