A compelling and intriguing discussion of why believing in God makes the most sense of human existence and our purpose on earth by one of the most respected Christian thinkers of our time.
Popular radio host and podcaster Justin Brierley has been creating and facilitat- ing constructive conversations about faith for more than two decades. He has had a ringside seat as believers and nonbelievers alike have debated Christianity. Surpris- ingly, Justin has come out the other side of these debates more convinced than ever of the truth of Jesus’ claims—and the power of good conversations.
With this book, you get to watch Justin as he engages the most unlikely of con- versation partners—from Richard Dawkins to Philip Pullman—on the subject of faith. You’ll understand why Justin, after hearing the strongest objections to the Christian faith and religion, is still a Christian. For him, God makes sense of human existence, the inherent value of human life, and our ultimate purpose on earth.
With this book, you’ll explore tough questions, with Justin Brierley as your guide:
Why would God allow suffering?
Are Christianity and the existence of God compatible with science?
Is there any evidence for the resurrection?
Discover the reasons to believe.
'This is a highly readable survey of the reasons for Christian faith, often called “apologetics.” But it is not just an academic exercise. Justin has respectfully engaged many thoughtful atheists and skeptics over the years, which is always a test for a believer. The book is therefore very personal—it explains how his own faith has emerged while working through the challenges he has received. Believers and nonbelievers (and the many in between) will all be helped by this volume.' - Time Kelly, late pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City
'A wonderfully clear, winsome, and accessible case for Christianity from a man who has hosted many of the world’s most prominent skeptics and atheists. The mixture of storytelling and argument is engaging, and the result is compelling.' - Andrew Wilson, church leader, author, theologian, and cohost of the Mere Fidelity podcast
'Whether you are a believer or a seeker, this book is a must- read...He not only lays out a powerful case for Christianity but does so in an interesting, judicious, and entertaining fashion.' - Sean McDowell, Associate Professor of Apologetics, Biola University, California, a popular speaker, and author of over fifteen books, including End the Stalemate
