The author lost me completely when she compared abortion to the holocaust. The icing on the cake was saying atheists can't ever know TRUE joy, Columbine happened because of atheism (spoiler alert, no it didn't), and that morality would not exist without the Christian God.

I approached this with good intent and an open mind, but the author is condescending and awfully full of herself despite not having strong, factual arguments.

This book did not prove god to me and argued using fallacies. The arguments were easy to disprove.

1 star is too many. i never thought i could find a book worse than crazy house by James Patterson but this made it so obvious that there was one. if i could unread this i would.

Excelent. Fantastic. Engaging. Well Reasoned. Brought me closer to God and understanding why I believe what I believe. Sometimes I fall into the trap that started this book, "Why do you believe in God." "I always have." Not a very good answer to someone who doesn't believe or has doubts about Him. But now, I understand more and have some usfull advice on what to say and how to reason it. I have also fallen into the trap of having to prove it and becomeing defensive and heated when discussing these kind of things. The book reminded me to stay calm and how to go about discussing things things farther without attacking anyone. The book did use the words 'absurd,' 'silly,' and other such phrases when stating unbelievers and doubters claim why they doubt God which might turn someone coming to faith off from reading this book. But I loved it and will be recommending it in the future and work on remembering its advice and arguments when discussing these things in the future.

This book was recommended to me when I was asking for good books that might help questioning atheists. It is aimed at a young audience (meaning teenage, I assume, from the way it was written). Although I found the arguments didn't change in substance from those I already am familiar with, they were substantially easier to understand in some cases. Welborn does a good job of breaking down the logic and showing where questioners' assumptions may be based on faulty premises. Overall a good resource even for adults, if they are willing to overlook the spots where it is specifically using language to make teens comfortable with it.

Amy Welborn makes some great points in this book that are relevant and easy for teens to understand. She answers a lot of the common questions that people have always had about God. It's amazing how much she is able to fit in to that short book; I think I read it in one or two days. I don't care for all of the humor that she throws in; I didn't find it very funny, but maybe others would. Four stars.

An excellent book to use in Confirmation. This book really hammers home the truth about how God exists and science explains the world only with God's existence. Even trying to read this with scepticism a person would really have to examine their conscious. A great book to share with all your nonbelievers.

[Christine Sunderland · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent defense, argument for the existance of a loving personal God. This book takes the reader step by step through the issues of creation, suffering, good and evil by addressing all of the reasons to NOT believe in God. Young adult level in terms of style.

Great book! I used this in preparation for discussing apologetics to my youth group, and I gained a lot from it!
