Problem: You have a friend or friends who have some difficult, legitimate questions, which hold them back from following God, and you don’t know how to answer them.
R.C. Sproul provides in-depth answers to some of the most difficult religious questions that people ask. He doesn’t give brief, pat answers but spends a chapter answering each question. The book covers the following questions: “The Bible Contradicts Itself. It’s Just a Fairy Tale.” “All Religions are Good. It Doesn’t Matter What you Believe.” “What about the Poor Native Who Never Heard of Christ?” “Christianity is a Crutch for Weak People.” “The Church is Full of Hypocrites.” “I Don’t Need Religion.” “There is No God!” “If There is a God Why Is There So Much Evil in the World?” “Why Does God Allow Suffering?” “When You’re Dead You’re Dead! There is no More!”
Each chapter is very helpful, with clear explanations and a great summary of key points to remember. This book is also an excellent one to give to a friend who is considering Christianity but has intellectual questions or concerns.

Problem: You have difficulty sharing with others logical and practical reasons that support your faith in Jesus.
Reason Enough puts clearly puts forth the case that there are ample reasons to support a thinking person’s faith. Clark Pinnock presents five different areas of reasoning that provide a basis for faith in Christ: Pragmatic (or practical), Experiential, the Cosmic or Natural, Historical and Community. The book closes with a helpful section on dealing with doubt.
