Searching Issues: Tough Questions, Straight Answers

by Nicky Gumbel

As we begin to think more deeply about the meaning of life, it's not long before we come across tough questions that deserve careful consideration. This book explores and discusses seven common objections to the Christian faith, Why does God allow suffering?- What about other religions?- Is there a conflict between science and Christianity?Drawing on several years of talking through these issues with people looking for answers, Nicky Gumbel offers clear, accessible and reasoned responses to the questions that surround faith and Christianity in the modern world. He goes beyond the logic of each question and applies it to a wider understanding of God's identity and our own identity, with practical suggestions for dealing with these issues in everyday life.'Gumbel's combination of humour, anecdote, metaphysics, quotations from the Bible and complex theology are both persuasive and compelling.' - The Observer

Great little book for Alpha hosts who want to prepare for some of the most popular questions non-Christian guests have. I do think, however, that it needs an update since the key questions that Gen Y and Gen Z ask are less "can science and faith mix" and more "is God good"?

Brilliant, accessible, well formatted and an easy read for what are some challenging qs. I’d recommend buying for a relative or friend who wants to know more or to learn more/refresh your knowledge.

I’ll be buying copies of this for friends and family.
