My Review and Thoughts:
I really loved this simple and easy to read Question and Answer Biblically inspired book. I found so many wonderful thought provoking and knowledgeable information of faith and the bible and all of God’s history that I consumed.
This is a quick read. I read it in a 2 day setting and then returned to it and read it again. I highlighted and took many notes to remember.
It’s a wonderful book to explore the aspects of faith and the reality of learning knowledge with the scripture. So many wonderful questions that we as Christians find ourselves asking and wondering what the scripture says or what is taught in Churches.
Although I don’t agree with everything that was said in this book, I still found this book filled with great biblically sound doctrine. I think any Christian or person wanting to know about faith and the bible and answers to tough questions will find this book a wonderful tool to use and express the knowledge within this book.
A wonderful tool for churches or anyone in their faith walk. Each question and each answer are of a biblical nature. I found great understanding in this page turning informative book.
A well-structured, biblically inspired book.
Would I Return to It Again: Absolutely? I already have 3 times. Great answers to tough questions and an exploration of inner questions being answered in biblically sound doctrine.
Would I Recommend: Absolutely. This is a wonderful written biblical doctrine for the faith
based or for those wanting to know more about the bible and all it’s wonders.
Four Final Words: Informative. Knowledge beyond Words.

Underwhelmed by some Answers
In one baffling situation, Mr. Towns bends over backwards to suggest that the wine that Christ made at the wedding was non-alcoholic. He perpetuates his grape juice... Not wine through out this book.
He is not clarifying... But baffling.

Elementary
I would definitely recommend this for beginning Christians as a good answer book for their questions. For someone fairly well versed in the church most of this is fairly basic

A great resource to read as you read the Bible. It offers background and explanation that assists understanding be it context, perspective, or doctrine.
