From AudioFile
Kate Readings delivery is well suited to Geisler and Tureks text. They shift from explanation to argument to compassionate overture to storytelling; so does she. Readings pace, tone, and cadence vary smoothly, and, quite essential for a book addressing a subject this complex, she adds pauses at key points to allow listeners to digest the concepts. The result will be extremely attractive to certain Christian listeners. However, listeners who do not share the authors philosophical premises may find their reasoning and evidence hard to follow. As a result, the book may not succeed at one of its stated purposes--answering arguments against belief in God. Others, though, may find the discussion provides insight into contemporary American religious culture.

Product Description
I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist argues that Christianity requires the least faith of all worldviews because it is the most reasonable. The authors lay out the evidence for truth, God, and the Bible in logical order and in a readable, non-technical, engaging style. A valuable aid to those interested in looking at the reasonableness of the Christian faith, Geisler and Turek provide a firm challenge to the prior beliefs of doubters and skeptics.

Reader Reviews
Having read quite a few Christian apologetics books, I feel I can say that this one is by far the best in scope, logic, and wit. The authors convincingly build up their case in layers, starting with well-reasoned arguments why God exists, and building in stages as to why Jesus is the way to go, once everything else is accepted. The authors include run-ins they've had with professors and debate opponents, making for an interesting read. The appendixes, which feature a mock dialogue between a Christian and an atheist, are entertaining. The book covers all the important issues that this topic entails, from cosmology, life origins, evolution, morality, and a defense of the Bible. No honest atheist can read this book without being impressed by the quality of the theistic arguments as presented by the authors. The objections of skeptics are confronted with confidence. Did it change my mind? It may have planted a seed. I highly recommend this book to both atheists and Christians, and to anyone else interested in this topic. It is VERY convincing. These guys know their stuff.
