We bought this book when we had two Mike's living with us. It was totally a joke. We left it out on the table for them to discover. After they moved out I decided to read it anyway. I remember it having some good talking points for Christian apologetics, but now a year later I can't remember any of them.

This book was easy to read with some really good points. It made me take joy in the fact that a thinking person can also embrace Christianity.
