What do you say when someone at work asks you why the gospel stories differ? How do you answer your neighbor when she asks what you think about all those "errors" in the Bible? Glenn Pearson offers simple, accessible principles that provide any Christian with the tools he or she needs to confidently respond to skeptical inquiries.

Pastors are asked lots of questions about the Christian faith—in fact, they are asked some very good questions. Like these: What convinces you that there is a God? Can God do anything? What’s the difference between blind faith and reasonable faith? What’s the point of praying? Can you explain God’s timing? How can someone who has been really hurt extend God’s grace? This book provides answers to these tough questions and many others as Dan takes a look at some of the more interesting and difficult questions that he has been asked in his many years of pastoral ministry and offers answers that are biblically sound, understandable, witty, and encouraging. You’ve probably asked some of these “very good questions” yourself.
