Without a Doubt: Answering the 20 Toughest Faith Questions (Reasons to Believe)

A critic of Samples writes that there is nothing new in this book and that he is more convinced it is Christianity that is wrong, not atheism. Pardon me, but did this fellow read the book? Samples offers some of the very best in Christian apologetic responses to humankind's most pressing questions. If the fellow was expecting a centerfold with pictures of God, Jesus leaving the tomb, etc., then I'm afraid this is never going to happen. But the evidence is clearly there to show that, while we don't have full knowledge of all spiritual inquiries, the information we do have available very clearly shows that there are plausible answers to even the tough questions. We just don't have easy answers, and this is because we lack omniscience. (Yet even science does not have all the answers, or I ask, "How many planets are there?" Nine, all textbooks say, even the most up-to-date. But could there be 10, as a recent discovery in July 2005 shows? And really, how do we know that there are not 11 or 12 planets?)While the information in this book is certainly available elsewhere (When Skeptics Ask by Geisler and Handbook of Chrsitian Apologetics by Kreeft come to mind), I believe Samples did a wonderful job by making "Without a Doubt" very understandable. I really believe that the typical layperson should be able to pick this up and, in three weeks (one chapter a night), have better answers to give those who ask these questions (1 Peter 3:15-16). Therefore, I recommend the book, even to the skeptical atheist. But then, if you remain atheistic in your belief system, I would love to see your answers to these questions.

'Without A Doubt' explores twenty questions regarding faith in Christianity. It is well written, provides solid answers, and is very accessible for people of all levels of knowledge on the subject.Written by Kenneth Samples, this book looks at some of the very biggest questions of all such as the existence of God, the deity of Christ, faith vs. science, the problem of evil, and more. It is really a good overview of Christian apologetics (the defense of the faith).I would recommend this book for anyone interested in exploring the really major questions of life. It would be good for Christians, non Christians, and anyone truly seeking answers. Highly recommended.

I normally am not a very big fan of books that try to answer multiple questions because they often fail to give enough information on each to be worthwhile. However, this book does a commendable job of condensing answers to difficult questions while not insulting the readers intelligence. Some will undoubtedly criticize the book for not addressing all relevant points on each subject but that is not the purpose of it. This book can be read by just about anyone but give a level of detail to each question that will satisfy many who do not have the time/desire to read an entire book on each subject. In many ways this is the perfect "pocket book" because you can go back and easily pull out the main points or answers that would come up in a conversation with a friend or family member. Some will want to pursue further reading on the subjects after going through this.

When I went on a binge of apologetics book to further my study, I purchased many books by authors such as Norm Geisler, William Lane Craig, JP Moreland and many others and as much as I appreciate those book, there is something special about this book. I tend to prefer books that allow you to flip from one chapter to another all the while focusing on the topic at hand and this book does that in a great way. It does progress in the topics at hand and I enjoyed it so much I gave it out to around three people. I can appreciate any book that adheres to the Bible and you will find multiple Scripture references throughout and it will definitely strengthen what and why you believe. I highly recommend!

Samples gives us another of his well organized, well reasoned, answers to the hard questions that Christians face everyday. Samples style makes these theological issues accessible to the layman, and easy for anyone to read and follow. The Christian will be strengthened by this work, and the non-Christian will be challenged to examine his faith that Christianity is false. Good read.

Good overall apologetic resource. Samples provides a plethora of good arguments, some of which I have never heard. He presents the topics clearly, concisely and in a way that is easy to understand and retain. I dig the fact that he devoted a whole chapter to Blaise Pascal and really delved into who he was historically.

Very worth your time. Very well written with important Bible information and Scripture. Makes for a nice gift for someone to grow as a Christian, too. This is one of my favorite books!

Very good book on apologetics, the author is eclectic in his apologetical method and Reformed in theology (as I am) and writes with biblical fidelity, sound logic, and historical awareness. I own many works on apologetics and this is one of my favorites (and possibly my favorite).

I have this book. Excellent tool.But PLEASE MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN KINDLE
