This book was so great! Apparently, I’ve seen the movie and forgot all about it, but it can’t compare to the questions posed to this book and the answers. Is a pure atheist without an open mind going to be moved by the evidence laid out here? Probably not. It’s a good argument, but overall, still takes a leap of faith to believe. But for me, someone who has been questioning her beliefs a bit and needed to delve into some of the hard evidence, it strengthened my faith in Jesus and the Bible itself. 

Overall, this was just the book with just the information I needed right at this time in my life. If you are a believe with questions about the Bible’s authenticity and proof that Jesus was who he said he was, then I think this book will help tremendously. In the end, it still requires a step of faith, but maybe not a leap.

I want to know what this book and these points look like to someone who hasn't grown up diving into them for fun as a child. But since I don't have that, it's still a good book, if some stuff is a bit dated.

An excellent apology for the Biblical Jesus. While no amount of evidence in the world is going to pursuade a hard-hearted person of either the reality of Christ's work or their need to trust in that work, this is about as good as you're going to get in a concise book form. There was one chapter I struggled with a bit, which is probably what kept it from a perfect rating, but this is an excellent resource.

In the book he talks about how the nail isn't in the center of the hand, so why is that the cover of this book??

Otherwise, this book was informative in matters of how to have conversations with unbelievers or those in doubt. A great read for anyone: from unbelievers, to new Christians, to experienced Christians. Everyone can learn something from this book.

It is set up as a series of questions in which the writer, Lee, travels to visit with highly qualified individuals in order to ask them if these questions about Christ.

Topics such as historical evidence, archeology, psychology, logic, as well as spiritually are all brought together in one book for the search for proof that Christ was who he said he was: The Savior of the world who died and raised again to save us from our sins.

The main purpose is to look at Christianity objectively by looking at facts and validating those pieces of evidence as truth.
