Comments

Des: Richard Simmons expertly, graciously, honestly quotes well-known unbelievers and believers in a compelling case for the reality of the living God.

Peter Walker: Richard has carefully and gracefully lead a reasonable conversation that anyone in their search to understand God and his revelations in Christ can embrace. No rude or mocking comments for those who may believe in evolution, but rather a rational exploration that will ultimately cause an atheist or agnostic to see the merits of Christianity against their beliefs and possibly choose another path.

Sebastian: I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for the evidence of God in our confused world.Great series of essays

AltitudeRocks: The metaphorical phrase used at the head of this review is over-used now in life. It is common for people to summarize, even in a serious business context, by noting what's important at "the end of the day."

I don't relish hackneyed writing, but I am nevertheless strongly drawn to use the phrase here: despite possible improvements to this book that could be suggested (as some here have done), at the end of the day I have to give this book five stars and a strong recommendation.

Yes, as another, obviously intelligent, reviewer also indicated, I wish that the author had gone deeper with his citations at times. Great points are often footnoted with...secondary sources. I suspect that this was not merely a labor-saving device, but may instead have come from an honorable desire to credit others for ideas that the author found valuable. Nevertheless, the book would be even better if the footnotes could go back to bedrock in more places to spell out and cite, for example, all of the original then-contemporary (or nearly so) sources for knowing of the historical Jesus. Especially the secular ones. He does mention some, but ever-more-specific detail...

Mark A Smith: "Reflections On The Existence Of God: A Series Of Essays" by Richard E Simmons III includes inspirational & educational essays that will delight serious students of Christianity of all walks of life.

You need to dive into this one!

The more humble we become and begin to understand God's meticulous control of all reality, the more it compels us to really study the Bible including important passages such as the following:

1. John 6:44...
No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

2. Proverbs 16:4...
The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

3. Proverbs 16:9...
A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

4. Proverbs 19:21...
There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

5. Proverbs 20:24...
Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?

6. Proverbs 21:1...
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

7. Job...

Mr. Patrick J. Crooke: Many base their atheism or agnosticism on low or superficial information, myself included. However, after a lifetime of agnosticism and occasional atheism I began to realise there was a huge God shaped whole in both my personal worldview and in our wider society, but I struggled to rationalise and articulate this realisation. This book has really helped me take the first baby steps in building firmer foundations for my developing faith. It has also pointed me in the direction of further reading, including CS Lewis and of course the Good Book itself. It presents a fascinating and compelling case for a belief in the existence of God. I wish I'd read this decades ago as a teenager when I was at that age where we seek meaning and purpose. I have bought copies for all three of my sons as it seems a perfect antidote to the destructive, materialistic nihilism so prevalent and poisonous to young people

Roman Fedorov: I got this book because it positioned itself as an impartial though-provoking discussion of atheism vs theism, confirmed also by multiple user reviews such as "the author doesn’t coerce the reader into one belief system or the other—but presents the evidence from both reference points and perspectives". So I opened my mind for some nice and well structured debate and started reading.
The book can not be further from that: it is a collection of cherry picked quotes and anecdotal examples of atheists that converted to theists, no significant criticism of Christianity is discussed, the author jumps to conclusions without any reasonable logic. The book can be summed up as "Does God exist? Of course! Atheists are irrational Nazis and Communists that do not value anything in life". Terrible read for a rational reader, whether they do or do not believe in God

Green: Engaging and thought provoking at every turn. A great gift book. 5 stars. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.
