I love a book that you can’t put down. I think this would be interesting to read because I do believe in God but also have had many questions. It would be nice to see this authors point of view on these matters. Great review!

Sounds like I really need to read this book. I too am looking for answers and I hope this book can nudge me in the right direction. The fact that it's written in an easy to understand language is a huge plus because many scholarly works are not and that's where you'd expect to find such information.

Using scripture to prove God exists is a bit like using the American dairy association to prove milk is good for you. The book is definitely not for me, but I do appreciate your thorough review.

I like that the author uses anecdotes to help explain his concepts and that they are broken down in easy-to-comprehend language. Thank you for your review!

I'm not a Christian and I really don't like religious non-fiction books. So, this isn't my cup of tea. But from your descriptions, I think other readers who like Christian books would really enjoy it. I like that it's written in a simple manner so that readers don't have to be bible scholars to understand it. So, thanks for the review.

The book seems to be a beginning point for anyone seeking to find the answer to if there is a God. Personally I think there is based on the many good things in my life. Your review helped me to decide if I was going to read the entire book. Great review.

Not my kind of book. I believe in God but I don't go into all of the what ifs. Thank you for your review.

Religion is one of the least genres I usually go to but your review made me curious. I have my questions related to the topics presented in the book so I'll give this book a try. Thank you for a very compelling review!

This book sounds wonderful. Even though I’m not Christian, I’m fascinated by the Bible as a historical text. And I enjoy reading nonfiction texts that analyze the Bible and the history of Christianity so I definitely will be downloading this book for future reading!

A comprehensive review that describes the book very well. I think this is an excellent book for people who are Christians, but obviously those who are not may not appreciate it as much. Perhaps it will be a reference for them but I suspect the notion that Christianity is the only true faith because of the teaching that God came to earth as Jesus and suffered in order to save those who accept him will not be acceptable. A pleasant and enthusiastic review of a good book, I am sure but not a book for everyone, I think.

Non fiction books about religion are not my cup of tea, so I'll pass on this one. From the review I know that the author answers every question brought up which not every book can suggest and it is really good and I'm sure will interest lots of people. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I always try to keep an open mind about how people view religion so this really peaks my interest on how others think. If you couldn’t put it down then I will just have to check it out.
