" Excellent book that provides answers to the basic questions of why we believe. "

" Great book, makes you think about why you really believe from a more logical perspective. It also exploits why many people don't really believe in Jesus. "

" The author really tried to make a reasoned case for Christianity but just failed miserably. It didn't help that Little veered off on too many irrelevant tangents. This was a difficult read; not for its content but because it was so flawed. "

" Another fairly quick read. My version is a bit out-dated. There are more current versions. A handy tool to help you (just as the title points out) know why you believe ... do you? It begs the question and makes you think deeper. "

" Good for arming yourself when you get confronted by an intolerant atheist. Also great when you are having natural doubts. "
— Laurin, 6/12/2012 -
