Synopsis

Many people today are perplexed about God. Some have become agnostics or atheists because they rejected outmoded ideas of God; others were brought up to believe in God, but as they grew older were not sure that such a belief was reasonable to hold in the current scientific climate; others hold on to faith but when challenged find it difficult to explain why they believe; and others have had religious experiences which make it impossible for them not to believe. This book should appeal to them all. As in previous books in the series, the subject is first discussed among a group of friends and in the second part is treated systematically. Tim, an eager young church member, drifts away from church. His wife, Cindy, came to her present unbelief through reading a number of books presenting proofs of God's existence which she did not find convincing. The group began their discussions when Cindy challenged Anne to say why she believed in God and Anne found that she could not give a convincing answer. Geoff helps the conversation along, while in the background stands Fred, whose firm faith is grounded in his experience of God.
