Review Quotes

"This outstanding teaching tool has multiple uses for church congregants: individual or small group study, visitation and evangelism preparation, church school elective courses, and theological fortification of secular university students. In addition, it provides stimulating study for pastors who have not taken an apologetics course in seminary or who need a refresher."--Carolyn Keefe "Church and Synagogue Library Association" (7/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)

The book's strengths are many. The evidence and arguments are presented in an easily understood manner, even for the layperson. Memory aids are found throughout in the form of helpful acronyms, graphics, and summaries. These permeate the book to such an extent that even a cursory glance will deliver more useful information than an average Sunday school class . . . . I was not really planning to review the CD-ROM game included with the book because I assumed it to be a mere add-on for promotional purposes, but I was completely wrong. The game is actually a high quality trivia game with a humorous "host" who encourages the player (sometimes through playful ridicule) as he goes through the game. It was quite entertaining and really lets the readers objectively evaluate how well they truly grasp the material . . . . Overall it would be difficult to find a better introductory book on Christ's resurrection. It is enjoyable and short enough to appeal to the layperson who wants to get a foothold on this important subject, yet weighty enough to be worthwhile to the more seasoned apologist (I certainly did not score nearly as well as I would have thought on my initial run through on their game!). I recommend it as top-ten essential book for those who wish to obey God's commands to defend the faith in a biblical manner.--Douglas M. Beaumont "Christian Apologetics Journal" (11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)

You will find this book to be the most practical and reader-friendly book in defense of Jesusí resurrection on the market today.--L.R.K. "Church Libraries" (11/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
