As a Christian who didnt know "what I believed or why I believed it" in college, had I had a resource like this to help me pick through the various messages I received from the professors, who wanted nothing more to make me question what I had been taught(the best intention) or disregard(the worst intention) For a while I "found Atheism" in college, maybe if I had more of the evidence of the validity of God and Christianity...

I so much more enjoyed this book compared to Geisler's Christian Apologetics, partly because I found the latter to be very dry and dull. But this book is so much more readable, with good support of the points and understandable to a general lay audience.

The book is so well written that it reaches a wide audience range...

The Author begins with the question of the existence of God and takes the argument to the point of demonstrating why Jesus is the only way to God. Much discussion of philosphy and logical thought. Much is here to chew on...author walks the reader through the entire discussion. A must for those wishing to strengthen their core beliefs.
