Book Description

Publication Date: December 4, 2008

As you read this, you probably think you're standing (or sitting) perfectly still. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Right now, the Earth is spinning on its axis in an easterly direction at 1,044 miles per hour. You're also moving through space at 67,000 miles per hour - the speed at which Earth orbits the sun - and that's just the beginning. Copernicus and Galileo found in overturning centuries of entrenched thought, things aren't always what they seem. You're invited to embark on a journey that will challenge your thinking and point up possibilities you haven't considered, looking at mysteries that have captivated mankind for centuries. Above all, we'll look at evidence. Evidence that God not only exists but is knowable. Here are just some of the questions that Pat Boone and Cord Cooper address in this candid, clear-cut book: * Can science and faith intersect? * Is the universe valid evidence of God's existence? * If God exists, why is there tragedy in the world? * Does the Bible offer evidence of divine inspiration? * The flipside: What motivates atheists? * Were humans created to commune with God? * Do any non-biblical documents corroborate the Gospels? * Was Jesus the Son of God? * Did the Resurrection occur?

5.0 out of 5 stars Crossroads book, April 10, 2009

This review is from: Questions About God: And the Answers That Could Change Your Life (Paperback)

I selected this book to help my wife and I answer some basic questions about our faith and God. I call this a crossroads book because I believe that every adult comes to that point in there life when quesitons about God and faith that were easily answered as children creep up again and as adults the answeres we had as children don't satisfy us anymore. That is the crossroads. Do we abandon faith / God due to lack of knowledge or delve deeper into it? This book should be your first stop at that crossroads. It answers those basic questions and instills a curisoity and vigor to delve deeper into your faith. You wont be disapointed with this book.

This review is from: Questions About God: And the Answers That Could Change Your Life (Paperback)

I've read many books on this topic, and this is by far the best. It avoids sermons, is easy to read, and is full of facts. It offers the most compelling evidence yet for the existence of God. A friend of mine gave me a copy -- she'd bought several to give to friends -- and after reading it, I bought a copy for a friend. The book affirms the faith of Christians, and offers compelling evidence to nonbelievers. To duplicate the information in this book, you'd have to buy several single-topic books and load your friends down with a pile they'd never read. This book covers it all -- with a lot of new information -- in just 162 pages. It's an easy, entertaining read, and one of the best books on any topic I've ever read.

This review is from: Questions About God: And the Answers That Could Change Your Life (Paperback)

The authors address questions that almost everyone asks at some time in their life: If there is a God, why does He allow tragedy and suffering in the world? How did the world begin? Was there a divine Creator, or did it all happen by chance? Is truth absolute or relative? What's my purpose? Does the Bible contradict science and history? Was Jesus the Son of God as He claimed--or just a good man who walked the earth? What motivates atheists to reject belief in a deity?

The chapter on "why God allows suffering in the world" is particularly strong. Although not dismissive of the many injustices in the world, the authors provide clear explanations that address evil in the world and the exercise of man's free will.

The book is well researched and chockfull of studies and quotations from the scientific community and from medical experts. The writing style is clever and punchy. With only 162 pages, the book makes fast reading. Highly recommended.
