Customer Reviews

An oustanding resource for "Thinking People of Faith".

I really found this book to be thought provoking and insightful. I respect the author's bravery to ask and answer the questions we have all pondered, or been afraid to ask out of embarassment. I found the book hard to put down. When I finally did, I took a while to let it sink in and it encouraged me, and helped to strengthen my own faith. The chapter entitled:"Why does God allow so much pain & suffering?". Wow! Batter, step up to the plate! No triviality here. His words speak truth clearly, and give purpose to my mind's wanderings. I have been a Christian for 25 years, and I found this book has helped to peel back the scales over my eyes and my faith, and opened them to see and understand why I believe. Not just simply feel the truth, but know it to be true. Kuddos to you Jim! God bless you.

finally, something understandable

I'm so grateful to finally find a book on theology that isn't condescending or overly vocabulary-endowed. I can understand the answers and explanations and actually repeat what I've learned.For me or for a friend, this is the perfect combination of intellectually satisfying information and understandable, logical, relatable answers. The glossary for untangling terms at the back is particularly helpful.This is a classic for my library.

Wonderfully Written

Jim Thomas has done us all a service by giving layman answers to the mostasked questions regarding God and religion. The answers are not overlysimplistic. They are the result of careful examination of the facts viewedthrough the looking glass of logic. This book is invaluable not only to thenovice but to the theologian as well!
