I had an atheist at my forum tell me that Lee Strobel was biased and only wanted to make a buck. I didn't buy it. Strobel used to be an atheist who set out to answer his own questions about Christianity (he is a seasoned journalist) and ended up converting. He asks all the tough questions we all hear to many educated experts and they answer those questions. Happy reading!

I read that book quite a while ago. A very good book.

God is making everything so obvious. All week I've been wanting to read The Case For Christ, contemplating if I should buy it off amazon and there you go recommending it. THIS KIND OF STUFF KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME!!!

Today I took some strictly research books out of the library, one was on evolution but I quickly realized that the author has an opinion too, there's always a bias which I wanted to avoid either way. Anyway, I read a good amount of this book and the evolution theory was really convincing (not that I beleived it all, but it was kind of giving me doubts unfortunately.) so how do I go about this? I wanted to draw my own conclusions on the evolution/creation theory, but it seems it's weakening my faith. How would God want me to go about this, do you think? I don't want to seem robotic and just repeat anything the (Christian theory) tells me, I wanted to draw my own comclusions, now I'm just at a loss.
I would pray about this. Really take the time to address everything that's weighing down your heart. Pray, and then listen. I'm good at talking to God, but I too frequently leave off the second part...

If we pray with sincerity and ask God for his guidance and understanding...and then we listen, and above all we trust that he will answer us, or that he already has answered us...I promise you'll be closer to the understanding that you seek.

Word of advice to everyone: Don't ask God if it's in His will for you to write a book unless you're prepared for the overwhelming excitement, almost "in love" feeling as an answer.

LOL.

well...you asked for it. (jk!)

I actually like them a lot. I like the clouds/blue sky best. If I were you I'd make THAT the background for the front and back cover. The sunset on the beach is gorgeous, but it reminds me of romance, which I don't think your book is about.

So how is the book itself coming along?
