===========
Are Christians just kidding themselves? Are believers wasting their lives serving an imaginary friend in the clouds? And do Christians even have the courage to confront the hard questions about God's existence?
Carl Gallups does, and readers should be prepared for a gut-wrenching, exciting, and finally inspiring journey in his new blockbuster of Christian apologetics, The Magic Man in the Sky . Gallups directly addresses the doubts and fears of young Christians in a hostile culture. Seamlessly combining insights from history, quantum physics, and Scripture itself, Gallups addresses the existence of the divine, biblical truth, evolution, the path to salvation, and the meaning of life. He also tells how Christians can fearlessly and effectively defend their faith and take the Good News to an unbelieving world.In a time of doubt and darkness, Gallups brings a confident and joyful message that God loves us, life has a purpose, and best of all, he can prove it.

Excellent read.

[Jeremy Dunn · Rating 1 out of 5]

I honestly don't know what I expected. Gallups makes the same lame arguments, engages in the same fallacies, and misrepresents arguments against his position in the same manner that have failed to convince anyone for decades. Granted, these books aren't written to convince non-believers like myself, but Gallups isn't doing believers any favors by merely going through the apologetics checklist by rote.

I've read a number of books on Christian apologetics since I think it's important to be familiar with arguments against my position and really, if you've read any other apologetics book that has come out since 'Evidence That Demands a Verdict' (originally published in '72), you've read this one.

Definitely not a quick read. Had to keep Bible and dictionary handy. A real eye opener! Makes you think and then think again.,

Two points I found fascinating were the proof that God exists and the analogy of the fish pond in the middle of 5000 acre ranch. Well worth the read!!

I wrote a lengthy review on my blog: http://bit.ly/1d7MLAu. I know I'm the odd one out, but I can't recommend the book.

Excellent resource and apologetic for Christian faith. Helpful for people who want to know the truth about God. Great illustrations. Five stars.

This book is very thought provoking. I liked the book other than the fact that it left some of the questions I wanted answered unanswered. And it dodged a few as well.
