Fast Moving, Refreshing, Challenging

This is a book on conversational evangelism. The authors have used the best-selling novel "The Da Vinci Code" as a challenge for Christians to take courage and communicate their faith. Flory and Monroe share tips, techniques, and examples to equip the reader to use the Da Vinci Code novel and movie as a bridge for witnessing to our culture. The book reviews and highlights the key issues detailed in the novel that attempt to discredit the Christian Gospel and the authority of the Scriptures. Sample questions and answers help prepare the reader to defend Biblical truths against the claims Dan Brown has introduced through his fictional characters. The authors use testimonies, stories, illustrations, and personal examples to keep the text moving at a fast pace. The book is thoroughly researched and well documented. The table on the themes of the Bible showing references where Jesus quoted from each book of the Old Testament was excellent and can become an excellent reference tool for every reader. I especially appreciated the table outlining the material from the Gnostic writings in light of Biblical teaching. W. Ward Gasgue's contribution on Gnostic teaching added another dimension to this important book. The resource list provided at the end of the book provides recommend reading for additional study in refuting "The Da Vinci Code" and for help in personal evangelism. This is a timely book for every Christian.

Exploring a Christian response to various elements in the novel

Co-authored by Susy Flory and Gini Monroe with the assistance of W. Ward Gasque, Using The Best-Selling Novel To Share Your Faith: Fear Not Da Vinci is an exclusive and conceptual study of Dan Brown's famous novel, The Da Vinci Code. Exploring a Christian response to various elements in the novel, Fear Not Da Vinci introduces readers to such ideals and explanations for Christians as to whether or not it is okay to read the novel, if Jesus really was married, if Mary Magdalene is pictured in "The Last Supper", if Jesus was merely a man or a God, if women are holier then men, and tactful ways to approach analyzing and discussing Dan Brown's novel with a gentle touch -- as opposed to an irrational and abrasively critical argument. For its in-depth study and articulated text, Fear Not Da Vinci is highly recommended for Christian readers when reading or discussing The Da Vinci Code.

Outstanding First Book

Fear Not DaVinci reflects the compassionate hearts of the authors, their love for their Savior, and their ardent desire that the biblical truths about Jesus not be distorted by Dan Brown's best-seller, The DaVinci Code. I found this book to be eloquent, understandable, heartwarming and practical. The authors are to be applauded for their exceptional writing skills, compelling stories, and mastery of complex theological issues. I know the Lord must be well pleased with the devotion, dedication and hard work of His faithful servants, Gini and Suzy. What a blessing!
