About this title

Review

"Amy Orr-Ewing is emerging as one of the finest young Christian communicators of our day. This excellent book confronts ten difficult questions about the Bible with honesty and conviction. It will be invaluable to anyone wrestling with these questions, or trying to help others who wrestle with them."--Alister McGrath, Professor of Historical Theology, Oxford University, and President, Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics

"Brilliant! Tough questions deserve clear and convincing answers. This is state-of-the-art apologetics that needs no apology. Amy's fascinating, wise and informative comments impressively counter much of the superficial and frequently unchallenged debunking of the Bible that we meet everywhere today (e.g., in lightweight journalism, TV documentaries and blockbuster novels like The Da Vinci Code). A must-read for every armchair critic, historian and philosopher. User-friendly and great fun too!"--Greg Haslam, senior pastor, Westminster Chapel, London

"This superb book tackles ten difficult questions about the Bible with honesty, integrity and conviction. It will be invaluable to anyone grappling with these questions."--J. John, Evangelist, The Philo Trust, Rickmansworth

A valuable resource for teaching believers about the inerrancy and reliability of Scripture. It needs to be in every Christian's library.--Richard L. Schoonover, enrichment, Fall 2008

"I came to faith as a student at the university. The two central pieces of my conversion to Christ were experiencing God's love through community and seeing God's truth in my personal study of the Bible. Amy Orr-Ewing does a masterful job in serving believers and unbelievers alike, clearly answering the questions that many have as they first begin to seek after God's kingdom. This excellent book spoke to my heart and mind, and I will certainly utilize this resource in my evangelism training ministry and with my unbelieving friends!"--John Teter, Lead Pastor, Fountain of Life Covenant Church, Long Beach, California, and author of Get the Word Out and Jesus & the Hip-Hop Prophets
