Written for Students But You Might Like It Too

People like Stephen Nichols help me feel confident that God is at work in this world honoring His Word, glorifying His name, and drawing people to His Son. This brief volume serves as a beautiful primer on how God uses people to accomplish the work of sharing and defending the gospel. Covering basic topics like the existence of God, the reliability of the Bible, and the importance of Jesus, Dr. Nichols helps the reader gain the confidence and courage to bear witness to the historic faith. If you’re interested in apologetics and wonder where to begin, this would be a perfect place to start.

A decent basic intro to Christian apologetics for adolescents and young adults. It’s an overview and introduction, so it doesn’t dig too deep, but it assumes a Reform theology that makes the book harder to understand and use for those who aren’t part of a Reformed tradition. There are a couple attempts at pop culture references that seemed clunky to me; I don’t know how they’d work with younger people.
