No one believes in God anymore, right? Isn't belief in God like imagining fairies are living at the bottom of your garden? This is what the man on the street thinks. But is he right? This book is a brilliant introduction to the one, true God for the man on the street. Highly recommended.

I bought this book when I was in Belfast from an evangelical bookstore. I was drawn to the book because it is written by Mez McConnell who has a fairly significant connection to the church I attend here in Edinburgh (Charlotte Chapel).

Although basic and written primarily for seekers and new believers, I was inspired and impressed by McConnell's down to earth and practical explanation of the Christian faith. I read the book in one-go as it was easy and accessible for all. I really appreciated his conversational tone as well as the questions he posed throughout and his use of an imaginary man named Jack (who is representative of every man) as we journeyed through seeking to conversion.

Personally, I am generally do not read books like this as I prefer more academic tomes, but it definitely has its place. I would highly recommend it to a new Christian or even as a study guide for a youth group. I found the writing to be somewhat more suitable for a younger audience, but nonetheless appreciated McConnell's deep insights and personal life illustrations.

Excellent Read

This book is great for unbelievers who have questions. It is also a great reminder for Christians. Very well written

This is a clear book for those with little understanding of the Bible and what it teaches about who we are, what is wrong with the world, and how a person can get right with God. It is, however, directed more obviously towards those with more obvious social issues, and may be used most effectively when helping those with no real bible knowledge and facing particular backgrounds.

Simple, yet powerful biblical truths laid out to lead a non-believer to faith in Jesus Christ.

Sería muy útil para leer con un amigo que tiene preguntas acerca de lo que crees.

This book is the first in a series of books designed to walk a person from asking questions about God to mature Christian faith. This first book is designed to answer questions about the existence of God, but it culminates with a clear unpacking of the Gospel. These books are designed to be used among the urban poor, so there's a simplicity and clarity here that is often lacking in other similar material. In addition, Mez writes with a clear eye towards the brokenness often experienced by those in poverty. I strongly recommend this book as a helpful tool to walk through with someone who's questioning Christianity or curious about the Gospel.

For Tim Challie's 2016 Book Reading Challenge, this is the book I read that was published in 2016.

J’ai été très désappointé par ce livre. Premièrement le titre est trompeur ce n’est pas du tout une défense de l’existence de Dieu, c’est plutôt une présentation de l’évangile. Deuxièmement, l’étrange format du livre rend difficile de suivre le flow de penser de l’auteur qui est constamment interrompu par différentes choses dont un interlocuteur imaginaire qui nous raconte son histoire. Le format littéraire est aussi questionable il y a des phases découpées en morceaux chaque morceau sur une ligne seul et indenté toujours plus loin, très difficile à lire. 🙁
