Reviews

"A book that is helpful for those who are truly spiritual seekers. . . . There is so much practical help and guidance for any who desire to 'draw in the net' and 'bring in the fish.' The colorful illustrations will arrest the reader's attention and the scientific information will astound. Readers will frequently return to this book, which will take true seekers on a thorough exploration of authentic Christianity. It will answer many intellectual questions people often raise but for which they usually receive only naive explanations. But the book is also good for those who are searching for a guidebook with substance that can be used to approach agnostic friends."--Alliance Life (September 1, 1999)

"This book is not a high-pressure sales pitch for Christianity. But it does examine questions carefully and thoughtfully, urging people to decide the validity of Christ's claims for themselves."--Living Light News (September/October 1999)
