Product Description
Everything Your Friends Wanted to Know about Christianity and You Were Afraid They'd AskSuch questions as: How can there be a good God with all the suffering in the world? Isn't religion just an emotional crutch? How do we even know there is a God? How many times have you been placed in an uncomfortable situation when faced with skeptical questions about Christianity? You know Christianity is true, but you are unable to communicate the truth effectively.The Apostle Peter told us to always be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks us about the hope that is in us. I'm Glad You Asked can help you become that able defender of the faith. This classic book, first published in 1982, explains the alternatives to the Christian position and then demonstrates why the Christian worldview is valid. It provides answers to the basic questions people ask and guides you logically through these questions with helpful flow charts. And it shows, most importantly, how each objection is really an opportunity to present the Gospel. Dr. Ken Boa is involved in a varied ministry of lifestyle evangelism and discipleship, teaching, writing, and speaking. His other books include Cults, World Religions, and the Occult, also from Victor. Larry Moody is the president of Search Ministries, a parachurch organization that assists adults in the process of lifestyle evangelism and discipleship through modeling and training.

 Unique for its Flow Charted Logic on principle Christian doctrine March 19, 2008
This text is the only I have ever come across that FLOW CHARTS the logic of the more frequent questions and responses on the principle doctrines of Christianity. For me (and hopefully for the many other people to whom I have given the book) it is in the top ten most meaningful books I have studied on Christianity.
 Somewhat helpful July 10, 2006
This book had some valid points, but it was clearly written in a different time. Thirty years ago, societal thinking was a lot different, so his points would be more accepted than they are today. Still a good read.
A very logical and applicable guide to answering peoples questions. January 17, 2006
The book does a great job of starting a square one...does God even exist then systematically just walks right on through topics leading up to did the resurrection of Jesus then goes into a few other areas of common questions. Each chapter is devoted to a topic and even includes a nice flow chart to help illustrated where each possible avenue leads to. Each chapter builds on the previous but since each chapter is devoted to its own stand alone topic you can just jump to that question to look for how to logically think through and reason the evidence.
The book handles all topics with enough throughness to give satisfaction with each topic while still maintaining good "readablility"

This is the third copy of I'm Glad You Asked I have purchased. I keep "lending" copies of this book to others as a valuable reference, particularly when witnessing to non-Christians or Christians seeking to learn more about some very good questions: "What makes Christianity different?" "Doesn't Anyone who is good get to Heaven?" "What about those who have never heard the Gospel?"I have several other books, including books by Hugh Ross (Creation and Time), Barry Wood (Questions non-Christians Ask Today) and Geisler and Brooks (When Skeptics Ask). All of these are good books, but I found this book answers the questions that are relevant today in a very readable yet thoughtful manner. It's well worth the investment.
This book is a great confidence builder ! June 12, 1998

The key strength of this book is in the fact that it challenges the reader to ask the question, " Is my faith reasonable?" If the answer is " No ", then the reader is then confronted with the decision of whether to hang on to an irrational faith or to discard it.Christianity is viewed by many as a leap of faith and not a rational world view. This book walks the reader through the rational arguments for belief in the claims of Christ and of the historical Christian Faith. I have used the book for personal study and as a course in evalgelism for young people and adults. I have watched as the syudents grew in confidence and became eager to take a reasonable Faith out into the market place of ideas.
