For Christians Who Care Enough to Give Honest Answers to the Questions Seekers Ask How can a merciful God send people to hell? Is Jesus really is the only way to God? Why should I trust the Bible when it's full of inconsistencies? Tough questions. Reasonable questions. The kinds of challenging questions skeptics and seekers are asking, that demand informed and satisfying answers from Christians. The Tough Questions series offers an organized approach to answering modern seekers' questions about Christianity. In the process, it gives an overview of key elements of the Christian faith. This honest, informative series is the result of Garry Poole and Judson Poling's extensive work with seekers at Willow Creek Community Church. In six sessions designed to get small groups thinking, discussing, and sharing, each book deals head-on with questions and objections commonly raised about the Christian faith. Tough Questions deals frankly with the challenging arguments of secularism. Quotes from non-Christian skeptics in various disciplines, together with responses from credible Christian apologists, fuel the discussions. A great resource for small groups, churches, and Sunday school classes, this series offers seekers and believers alike the kinds of reasonable, factual answers that inspire faith, conviction, and trust in the reality and claims of Christ. Who did Jesus claim to be? How is Jesus different from other religious leaders? How could Jesus Christ possibly be God? Why did Jesus have to die? What real evidence supports the resurrection of Jesus Christ? What difference does Jesus make today?
