Summary

Josh McDowell, speaker, author,Evidence That Demands a Verdict"Atheism requires gobs of blind faith while the path of logic and reason leads straight to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Geisler and Turek convincingly show why." Phillip E. Johnson, author,Darwin on TrialandReason in the Balance"I Donrs"t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheistwill equip, exhort, and encourage youls"to give the reason for the hope that you have . . . with gentleness and respect.rs"" Hank Hanegraaff, president, The Christian Research Institute, host,Bible Answer Man"This book should disturb anyone claiming to be an atheist . . . perhaps enough to persuade them to begin a search for the God who has been there all along."
