Great book for apologetics. Knechtle uses great illustrations to create some great points. On the other hand, this book does show its age. I would love to see a more current rendition of the book to better suit today’s needs.

This is a simple but effective book. The author shares his answers to common questions he has encountered regarding Christianity in a straightforward and passionate way. He shares personal experiences and anecdotes, as well as many stories from the Bible to demonstrate the answers he provides. His answers are powerful and direct - there's no beating around the bush here! It certainly gave me things to think about.

I've seen many videos of Cliffe Knechtle on college campuses, answering a wide variety of questions from all levels of believers and non-believers. This book is a good introduction to Christianity from the viewpoint of a man who understands the reservations many people have about it, and about religion in general. For an open-minded person who is seeking information on how to approach God, this is a very good place to start.

Cliffe uses his extensive experience of speaking to young audiences, with many unsure of Christianity to lay out common questions and concerns in this book. He does a good job and presenting simple, yet effective answers to these questions.

This would be a great place for anyone unsure of Christianity to look to, as many concerns they might have had in the past are probably discussed in this book, and why turning to Jesus will change your life!

[David Pazmino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Phenomenal answers to tough questions about Christianity. I kind of already knew everything since I watched a lot of Cliff's sermons. But it still is worth it to read!

[Nick Rudin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cliffe has compelling arguments for the fairly generic but tough questions that he covers in this book. Very easy to read and Cliffe’s writing is extremely easy to comprehend. Definitely worth the read.

This book is a compilation of questions asked of the author regarding Christianity, and the author's subsequent responses using the Bible as his reference. The responses, though simplified at times, tend to lean towards showing the simplicity of the truth found in Christ and God.
