You Asked: Your questions, God's answers

by William Edgar

It can be difficult to ask questions, far less answer them. Perhaps you've felt that sometimes the questions you really want to ask just can't be answered. They're too difficult; too embarrassing; and perhaps you shouldn't be asking them anyway. William Edgar takes a selection of twenty-four questions just like that - questions that are asked by young adults just like you - and gives a biblical, common sense, unpatronising answer to each. Edgar tackles issues such as 'Where is God?' 'Can we trust the Bible?' 'What about love and sex?' 'Does God love gay people?' 'When will the world end?' 'Are there vampires?' 'Can I have real friends?'

Reviews

[Madeleine Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the theology and facts in this book but it was written for someone much younger than me. It talks about being for teens, but I found a lot of the information to be pretty basic (this coming from a Christian school girl so I do take Bible classes). An example of some of the questions that I found rather absurd were “are women human” and “are vampires real”. I would still recommend it to a younger Christian or a teen who has just become a Christian, not someone who knows theology well and is looking for new insights on it.

Even though it is written with teenagers as its audience, the book gave me good responses to what most teens would ask. It also helped me answer some of my questions regarding the faith and cultural engagement. Even the adult Bible student will benefit from this book.
