Speaking all over the United States about apologetics issues, Charlie Campbell has heard just about every question skeptics have to offer. In this concise, reader-friendly handbook, he provides brief responses to the top-40 questions that keep people from the faith, such as... What evidence do you have that God exists? How do you know the Bible is actually true? What about those who have never heard of Jesus? Will they be condemned to hell? If God is so loving, why does He allow evil and suffering? How can you say Jesus is the only way to heaven? Don’t all religions basically teach the same thing? Aren’t a lot of churchgoers hypocrites? With a gracious introductory note to skeptical readers and a generous sprinkling of inspiring quotes throughout, this handy resource is an enjoyable read as well as a powerful evangelistic tool.
