About this ebook

Renowned scholar William Lane Craig offers a readable, rich training manual for defending the Christian faith.

This concise guide is filled with illustrations, sidebars, and memorizable steps to help Christians stand their ground and defend their faith with reason and precision. In his engaging style, Dr. Craig offers four arguments for God’s existence, defends the historicity of Jesus’ personal claims and resurrection, addresses the problem of suffering, and shows why religious relativism doesn’t work. Along the way, he shares his story of following God’s call in his own life.

This one-stop, how-to-defend-your-faith manual will equip Christians to advance faith conversations deliberately, applying straightforward, cool-headed arguments. They will discover not just what they believe, but why they believe—and how being on guard with the truth has the power to change lives forever.

Ratings and reviews

Bill Craig, among many other apologists such as Ravi Zacharias, David Wood, Lee Strobel, John Lennox, Nabeel Qureshi, and James White, has tremendously influenced my way of thinking when I listened and watched his lectures and debates on Youtube and Reasonable Faith. I encourage you, believer or not, to listen to this gentleman present solid arguments in defense of the Christian faith.

I have been highly encouraged in my faith and drawn to the exciting evidence for God's existence, Jesus' life, death and resurrection and much more. I've only read it cover to cover but I can't wait to do more indepth study so I can provide a reason for the hope that is within me! Its very encouraging to share the good news with others... cause they just haven't heard these arguments before!

This book over promises and under delivers. It has some good information and isn't necessarily waste of time but there are much better books out there. I would recommend that anyone would read "I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist" before reading this book. That is, if you are set on reading this book for some reason or another. This way at least you'll get some supplementary information and review of some topics.
