Description
Is Christianity for those who can't get a life? What use is a dying God? Why is the Church so naff? If you've faced questions like these and felt tongue-tied, this is the book for you. It will help you talk more confidently with your friends about the hope that keeps you going. And during those times when you find that you are questioning your faith, the answers and ideas here may help you come to a deeper understanding of what you really believe.The user-friendly format of each chapter begins with a 'What they say' section. The author then identifies the key issue, before suggesting (in reassuring detail) how you might respond. All through the book you will find stories, as well as inspiring, poignant and witty quotes to work into your conversations whenever the opportunity arises . . .
Reviews / Votes
.... the structure significantly contributes to the usefulness of the book as a group/home study text. There is a very helpful section at the back on precisely how to use the book in this context ... If you buy this book for no more than the quotations, you will have a thought provoking resource. -- Gillian Kingston * Church of Ireland Gazette *More details
