Review: I had waited several months for the publication of this book, and now that it is out, I slightly disappointed by it because it doesn't really tell people how to defend the faith.

Summary: This Should Be in Everyone's Library
Review: This book goes a long way in rooting apologetics or the defense of the Christian faith firmly in Scripture and the Triune God of Scripture.
The author has taken passages of scripture and demonstrated their apologetical import. In so doing, he shows us the necessity of every Christian to be a student of Scripture. Apologetics, we are shown, is not a matter of "method", but of being able to rightly divide the word of God and properly placing our faith in Him as we defend.
This book is written in a very winsome, pastoral manner making it accessible to even the most "novice" or young Christian.
After reading this book, you will walk away encouraged in your faith and grateful that you have been called into such a battle. Your faith will be strengthened because you will be better acquainted with the God of your faith. You will be motivated to share and defend the gospel of Jesus Christ, for His sake. Your appetite for the study of scripture will be whetted, as the author unfurls in each chapter the robust depth of passages we might otherwise believe we are familiar with. And finally, any lack of confidence and/or competence will be allayed as you will be convinced that the battle belongs to the LORD and the outcome is assured.
