Does Christianity have the answers to life's big questions? While some apologists seek to provide convincing rational proof for the Christian faith, Joe Boot believes the best Christians can hope for is to show nonbelievers that it is reasonable for them to believe in Christ. This is because the Christian and the non-Christian come to the discussion with worldviews--sets of presuppositions--that are miles apart from each other, so there is little common ground on which to build an objective argument. Instead, Boot invites nonbelievers to step inside the Christian worldview to see whether it provides satisfying answers to life's ultimate questions. Boot also steps into the non-Christian worldview, showing how it ultimately fails to make sense of the world. Whether you are a skeptic or a Christian seeking a relevant apologetic for our postmodern culture, you will benefit from this insightful and accessible book. "Joe Boot has opened not only the door of his mind, but more importantly the door of his life to us. In this lived-out context the deep, complex truths he seeks to tell us take on a three-dimensional color and tone."--Michael Card, award-winning singer/songwriter, author, and broadcaster "A powerful and convincing apologetic, it achieved what true theology should and left me on my knees in worship."--Rev. Greg Downes, chaplain, Pembroke College, Oxford University "Joe Boot reasons passionately and persuasively that Jesus is the Christ as revealed in the Scriptures. As I read, my mind was engaged, my understanding enlarged, and my heart compelled to worship."--Steve Green, award-winning singer/songwriterBoot, Joe is the author of 'Why I Still Believe (Hint It's the Only Way the World Makes Sense)', published 2006 under ISBN 9780801066054 and ISBN 0801066050.
