Karyn Dancy: I love how the authors go through so much technical information, detailed facts, and use sound reasoning to show why God is the one true God and Jesus is the Messiah.

G. D.: Many apologetics books focus on one specific area--the moral argument for God, epistemological arguments, the first cause argument. This is good and valuable but it necessarily limits their application. By contrast, this book integrates multiple apologetic arguments to create a comprehensive case that shows how different philosophical arguments can build off of and augment each other. For example, the book argues that the beginning of the universe (in particular, the scientific evidence for the big bang and consequent non-viability of steady-state models of the universe) imply a creator. This (and subsequent arguments) supplies evidence when the authors address Hume's argument against miracles and it's modern variants: miracles are not maximally improbable because separate arguments already establish the likelihood of a personal being with the power to create something from nothing as well as various aspects of that being's character. Thereafter, having established that miracles are not prima facie impossible (or impossible to rationally believe) it is possible to argue that some miracles (in particular the resurrection) actually happened.
While the presentation is...

Philip van den Berg: Easy to read. Science and philosophy in an understandable way explained. It is clear that it is not a lack of evidence and logic that keeps us from rejecting a believe in G-d the Creator. It is a matter of whether we will submit to Him or not.

Mel: I didn't read it yet personally, although my husband has read me many excerpts, and i so look forward to reading it for myself. What I have learned so far has been such an encouragement, and I have never been more sure of my faith in the God of the Bible. I am so appreciative of what God has done through through Norman and Frank, and thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking, doubting, wants to strengthen their faith, or learn to become a better evangelist. It will equip you without a doubt.

Tom: Extremely Well Written. It's taking me a while to go through it as I have to take breaks as it's pretty thought provoking. Lay's out the Truth of God/Jesus/The Bible without using the Bible as it's principle source. I'm going to purchase a few of these books and offer them to certain people. It'll be up to them what they do with it.

Mac: Amazing book. If you look over to the one star ratings, you will notice that atheists can’t provide a reasonable argument but say this book was poorly written and is filled with logical fallacies. Regardless of the language used in this book, one must face the truth openly with logic and reason. It breaks my heart to see atheists clinging on to whatever they can cling on to try and avoid the truth. I pray for the atheists in the world who have hardened their hearts to the truth that is found within the Word of God. Frank and his ministry is a blessing from God, thank you for taking the time to provide evidence and providing strong apologetic arguments!

CB: If you don’t have this book, you need to read it. If you are a sceptic but consider yourself open-minded, you should read it. It very well may change your mind. If you are a believer, this book will be an excellent resource to help you defend your Christian faith. You will be amazed at the scientific and archaeological presented. Frank and Norm offer scholarly arguments for the truth of Christianity in a non-intimidating way. This book dispels many myths about the Christian faith being unscientific, a fairytale, outdated or irrelevant. It’s a game changer.

Marcus: While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man [one who is noble and selfless and worthy] someone might even dare to die. But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more certain, having been reconciled, that we will be saved [from the consequences of sin] by His life [that is, we will be saved because Christ lives today]. Not only that, but we also rejoice in God [rejoicing in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received and enjoy our reconciliation [with God] (Romans 5:6-11, AMP).
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all...

Mark Eremite: THE BOOK:
I am an agnostic who is looking for something to believe in. I have searched for years now, and generally am met with lukewarm explanations and radical fundamentalism from both camps. I am not self-righteous or pig-headed enough to categorically dismiss atheist or religious arguments simply because their tone bothered me, but it does get tiresome to be on the receiving end of what is usually more bitterness and dogmatic posturing than any kind of intelligent thought or reason.
Again, I'm talking about atheists as well as religious zealots.
Which is why I enjoyed this book so much.
This is a concise, well-crafted, thoughtful and thought-provoking piece of work. There is real insight to be gleaned from the pages, and although the sum total isn't what any open-minded person would call 100% convincing, it definitely gets much closer than anything else I've discovered.
There is much talk about this book setting up straw men to be knocked down, and although the book does do that on a few occasions, it is by no means what the ultimate premise is based on. In fact, although there were some sketchy arguments and hastily covered bases, and...
