Although many people suggest that Christianity is declining, research indicates that it continues to be the world's most popular worldview. But even so, the Christian faith includes many controversial beliefs that non-Christians find hard to accept. This book explores 12 issues that might cause someone to dismiss orthodox Christianity—issues such as the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of heaven and hell, the authority of the Bible, and more. Showing how the best research from sociology, science, and psychology doesn't disagree with but actually aligns with claims found in the Bible, these chapters help skeptics understand why these issues are signposts, rather than roadblocks, to faith in Christ.

    👍Worth reading
    🎯Worthwhile

    This book is tremendous.

    I highlighted so many things 😅 because it's just that damn good of a book.

    The author is a brilliant writer but in some instances the book gets a bit boring but those situations are few and far between.

    The over arching nature of the book is it asks and answers questions by bringing in perspectives you may have not had or information you were unaware of.

    All in all, if have problems with Christianity this books allows you to fight with it and see maybe the Christianity you know isn't actually what you think it is.

      Of course, I thought atheism was true,” Joy recalls, “but I hadn’t given quite enough attention to developing the proof of it.

      This can be said over many religious people.

        “In Christ, we are not pursued like wanted criminals, but like wanted children, or like wanted lovers, because wrath is replaced by desire.”

          If Jesus is the Bread of Life, loss of Jesus means starving. If Jesus is the Light of the World, loss of Jesus means darkness. If Jesus is the Good Shepherd, loss of Jesus means wandering alone and lost. If Jesus is the resurrection and the life, loss of Jesus is eternal death. And if Jesus is the Lamb of God, sacrificed for our sins, loss of Jesus means paying that price for ourselves.
