Right with God
This book is written for seekers - for people who want to give sensible and honest thought to the whole question of their relationship to God. It is not an examination of all the world's religions which ends by saying, 'Now choose the one you like best'. It is not a scientific text-book, which turns religion into equations and faith into a formula. It is not a vague and airy-fairy collection of various points of view.
It is a plain, straightforward book showing how a person who is honestly seeking for God can find him.

Simple yet thorough.
Good for what it was assigned for (as reading for the RUF internship); perhaps less so for other purposes.
Written in the 1970's, so takes a very modernist approach--big on appealing to authority. This can be a significant weakness, however, since the authorities are now quite dated, and I know personally that I'm far more receptive to the Christian message when it's talked about in terms of relationships, community, and experience. (What can I say? I'm a child of postmodernity.) However, I like the chapters on failure (Chapter 3) and repentance (Chapter 5: The Need); how Blanchard writes so fervently in first person; and how he draws in the scope of the entire Bible as a story of redemption.
To give example of the authorities cited that are less helpful than they are dated, or even laughable:
"On 9th April, 1939 Chief Justice Ben C. Hilliard, of the Colorado Supreme Court, presided when the evidence concerning the resurrection of Jesus was presented. He advised on the legal value of each piece of evidence..." (p. 80)
"Is its science accurate? Listen to Dr Irwin Moon, Principal of the Moody Institute of Science, Los Angeles...." (p. 11-12)

A great read for those seeking to know God and have questions as to how to know Him. Very straightforward, compelling and easy to understand. A wonderful book to share with others who may have questions and are wanting to know more about who God is!
