5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult Questions, Answered Intelligently, July 2, 2002

This review is from: Now, That's a Good Question! (Paperback)

I am a Christian who has been studying the bible for about five years, and I still have much to learn. I love to read books that ask the tough questions and try to answer them based on the bible! I read another review of this book saying it does not do that; I respectfully disagree. I believe Mr. Sproul has given us an intelligent, succinct, well-thought-out answer to many of the difficult questions that come up about the Christian faith. I pick the book up and re-read it often, as I can always find something new. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an educated approach to questions we sometimes hear from others, or even come up with ourselves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a gift to a new or old "Friend" ?, October 30, 2000

By 

Bran Copeland (Spartanburg, SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Now, That's a Good Question! (Paperback)

Concise, grace filled answers to a Large variety of questions a new babe in Christ might ask - or an older one - or a "friend" with whom you would like to share eternity by sharing the gospel , but need some helpful intro. Good gift choice because erudite/sharp, but directed toward a short/sound bite/rushing around society like most of USA. Thought provoking answers with many delightful and almost surprising; filled with light and peace-filled grace.

Sproul explains in foreword that these are not exhausting answers, thus very good opportunity to begin conversations and ( together ) search scriptures to test these "prophesies". I really, really like his intro statement ( I paraphase ) and reminder - that we are ALL fallen creatures ( even the marvelously talented students like Sproul ), thus will definitely sin in our interpretations/explanations. Really need to recover personal responsibility to study scripture ourselves and work within His community to test and allow for accountability. This seems like a simple, " like- duh " admonition and exhoration, but not in practice as you know whether in this 'postmodern' age or in the earliest church communities.

Who else will give this type gift to your or my friend or new acquaintance at Christmas or any of the many Christian holidays or his/her b'day?

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice book of answers, June 17, 2001

This review is from: Now, That's a Good Question! (Paperback)

I have read quite a few questions-answer books in Chrsitian titles. This is among the better of them. I don;t know much about the author, but I found the answers interesting, and easy to understand. Most of them reasonable. The book is a good reference, and east to search through. Most questions regarding Christian Faith, that I could think of were answered fairly.Not overly complew, but a nice start for the inquisitive.
