What a great little book!

What a great little book! The authors take the time to explore spiritual questions, rather than simply rushing to answers; and each writes with a humor, honesty and humility that I enjoyed and appreciated. The daily readings are refreshing and challenging - providing a unique and interesting mix of scripture, creed and thoughts on faith. I used the book as devotional reading and have returned several times to chapters like "What About When Doubt Overshadows Belief?" and "Will Life Ever Be the Way It's Supposed to Be?" I'm grateful to have this book - and have already given copies to friends

A Wonderful Book

I found this book to be a wonderful tool to share with friends who are asking questions about God and looking for something to help them along. I like the conversational approach, the 30 day format, the way it breaks down the Apostle's Creed and helps the reader understand what it is all about. I have given numerous copies to friends who are at various places in their spiritual journey, some just starting out, others further along, and all have remarked that this book was very helpful to them.

Thankful for "A Place for Skeptics"

After reading A Place for Skeptics...I could have entitled it "A Place for my Friends and I". All my life I have heard the Apostles Creed, and this book helped me to take the next step in understanding my faith and belief in God. More than that, this book has been a helpful tool for me to give to friends as they try to understand their own beliefs in God, and how those beliefs make it into their everyday lives. A Place for Skeptics is an excellent resource for making the bridge between God...Religion...and your everyday common life. It invites you to explore the reality that God does bring Real Answers to Real Life.....

Excellent for those wary of religion

A Place for Skeptics should have a place on everyone's bookshelf! Although it's directed toward "those who may have given up on church, but not on God," these pages offer a sound presentation of the reality and the relevancy of Christianity in today's world. Reading this book will refresh the heart of any believer, and it can also stir up the embers of faith and trust in those who are wary of attending church. The reader will set off on a 30-day spiritual adventure, as the authors start at the point of skepticism and move ever onward toward the purposes and blessings of a community of believers. Most interesting was the use of the Apostle's Creed as the basis for this teaching. Each section works through another point of the Creed, while highlighting its validity in the modern world. In a significant blending of the ancient and the contemporary, the Apostle's Creed touches today with its timeless truths. The writing is conversational and is completely void of theological jargon. Because of this, there is a note of genuineness throughout. Doubts and misunderstandings are examined with honesty and humility. The authors acknowledge the problems confronting the modern believer, and then they walk alongside the reader as they attempt to find the answers. Skeptics will be given a new perspective on some vital issues, while all believers will have their faith strengthened with this solid biblical foundation. A Place for Skeptics is an excellent resource for reaching those who are wary of religion but who are also weary of searching. -- Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com

Great book

I am fairly new to the Christian faith, and this daily devotional-type book was a great place to start my own journey. It is written in clear, everyday language, so it was not intimidating at all. The format of the book, broken down into 30 days, is just enough to get you thinking about that topic for the day and not overwhelm you. And it gives suggestions on how to incorporate God into your everyday life, outside of church on Sundays. This is a book I will definitely pass on to friends and family.
