Search - The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity

Wonderful study part one of two.

I picked up this book thinking that Christianity was illogical and unfair, and wanting to know "the other side." I finished it with the same feelings and beliefs I had when I started it. The answers were pat and often counterintuitive and I found it totally unconvincing.

I enjoyed reading this book. It hits upon most of the major objections to the Christian faith and is presented in an organized, extremely understandable way - it's very well-written. I enjoyed hearing what the "experts" he talked to in each area had to say.

Being that Lee was a former agnostic/unbeliever, it is even more impressive that from talking to these masters in their fields that he eventually became convinced; thus, the book is even more compelling.

Personally, having all of this extra evidence, rational thought or proof concerning Christianity is nice, but still not necessary for me. The faith I have comes from within - it is a seed that was planted in me at birth, and by keeping myself in constant communication with Christ through prayer, Scripture, sight-seeing and sometimes mind-blowing interactions with others, my faith remains whole. But for the skeptics, who are always hard to convince, I don't see how or why they wouldn't come around after reading this book. If you are determined not to believe in something, it could be staring you straight in the face and you still might not believe. Still... if Lee became convinced, then others can, too. The Lord works in His mysterious ways to reach others, and there are millions of ways.

I'm glad this book is out there. I can think of quite a few naysayers that I would like to see read it.
