"This book was a great, short book explaining the indisputable facts that support the Jesus of the Bible. It would probably only take an hour to read, but it covered a huge amount of information that you may never have thought of before. "
— Kyle (5 out of 5 stars)
" A good reference point for the slew of sources McDowell includes. I especially enjoyed the section on historiography and textual reliability, a lot of good meaty stuff I hadn't seen before. "
— Jarrod, 4/29/2011" Evangelistic. It has all the questions a non christian who wishes to ask and answers that provided. "
— Genevieve, 4/24/2011" This is a good book if you're into proofs and sort of apologetics. After I read it I decided it was great to give to a friend of mine who isn't a Christian. I'd recommend it for that as well. "
— Jason, 11/23/2010" Reread this for the first time in like a decade. Still holds up. Brief but contains plenty of information and well-thought reasoning. Probably a really good book for an unbeliever or someone new to the faith. "
— Dru, 11/9/2010" Jesus was more than a carpenter indeed. "
— Fed, 9/10/2010" I am impressed with how accessable this book is. Easy to read and easy to understand arguements for Christ. "
— Laura, 7/27/2010" Another book I read early in my walk w/God. Great backup info of WHY we believe in Jesus. "
— Amy, 7/20/2010" Not sure how many times I've read through this little jewel, but I love it every time! "
— Chad, 7/13/2010" A great book--especially for those on the fence about Christianity. A few of his points could have been better developed (e.g., Jesus coming from the House of David), but, in general, well done and quite readable. "
— David, 6/25/2010" Not only is this book amazing, it is definitely a must-read. "
