Have you ever felt “Scripturally challenged” when it comes to the zingers of questions that unbelievers throw at you? What do you say when people ask, “Where does the Bible come from?” Or, “How do you know that God exists?” Or, “Isn’t Christ just a myth?” It is important not only to know what you believe, but also why you believe it. Peter said, “…be ready always to give an answer to ever man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” (1 Peter 3:15). In this book, Leonard Albert and Don Warrington write from their many years of teaching and actual “one-on-one” evangelism to help Christians know why they believe what they believe. A thinking person asks questions and does not believe something without good reason. This book will help the reader to closely examine the claims of their faith in Christ with the ultimate goal of helping them to be more confident as they share their faith with others.
