The Official Study Guide to I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Got this instead of book but kept and ordered book both good items

I'm halfway through and this book is tough. I am not as cerebral as my husband... I do better with the touchy feely books... But I am learning a lot of things that are obvious, but not often thought about. Like, if there are no absolutes, then that statement is inherently false! Because it is saying there are absolutely no absolutes.... Get it?

Dr. Norman Geisler is one of the foremost apologists of our day and has influenced many with his scholarship, wit, and teaching. I had the privilege of taking Apologetics under him at Dallas Theological Seminary in the late 1980s. My employment in the computer technology isoloated me (worked at home) distracted me from my evangelistic endeavors. I recently retired and while speaking to a couple of family members was exposed to the prevalent cultural state of New Atheism. This was the first book I was attracted to and, as expected, was not disappointed at all. The other book I have found very helpful is one Dr. Norman Geisler authored with his son, Dr. David Geisler, "Conversational Evangelism." Both books address the need of "pre-evangelism" and the need to engage in winsome discussions and the building of relationships to deal with the rationalism and lack of moral absolutes in the post-modern mindset. I highly recommend both if you are looking for being better equipped to share the truth of Scripture with many you will encounter in our culture.

At first instance, when reading through the introduction, it was hard for me to really understand where the authors were trying to take this book. However, in the first chapter, it is starting to make more sense. They are trying to come to where secular people are and bring them to a better understanding of everything in life here on earth and for beyond this earth. Even just reading the introduction and the first chapter, I really look forward to reading the rest of it and to prepare myself to help teach others in this way of logic, critical thinking, apologetic and faith. I'm thankful that the authors wrote it this way because it is also giving me a better understanding of what I believe and how to help my loved ones understand me and Jesus better. I recommend it to everyone, even if you don't believe in God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. This gives people a better perspective into what the rest of the world is trying to keep us from knowing and understanding.

Lines up with scripture

I've used a lot of study guides/companion books... and this one is probably my all time favorite. If you love the Book "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" and you want to use it in a small group setting - this study guide is fantastic. It just goes chapter by chapter through the book, asking mostly open ended questions, or good questions where the book gives the answer, that are perfect for small groups (if the group members have read the chapter beforehand). Many study guides are filled with silly unthoughtful "waste of time" questions (IMO). Not this one. This companion guide is as good and well thought out as the book is.... and that is saying something!

Normana and Frank provide a very well researched presentation of the case of God and more particularly the Christian God. The proofs tend to follow the traditional Thomistic lines of attack: the comosoligical, teleological, athropolical, and moral arguments but freshned up with the latest data from astronomy, molecular biologym and theology. The presentation attempts to weigh in the scales of reason the mertis of the atheist case and the vaue of theistic arguements with the clear result that it does take more faith to be an atheist. Popular culture and mainstream media are yet to wake that atheism is scientifically less defendable than theism based recent developments in science.This work covers the ground well in a very accessible, relatively non technical manner, and is well supported by research rather than just assertion.

Quick delivery and quality product.

This was of no use without the book which was what I thought I was buying. It is far to expensive for what it is. Your description was missleading to say the least.

Excellent book, brings together all the reasoning and arguments for Faith and against Antitheism. Does ramble on a bit in the last 1/3rd tho

Excellent.

Seems really excellent

brilliant, buy it.
