Read this Book: This book is interesting to me for two reasons. Obviously the first, is the subject matter. As a new Christian who spent years in out of church I was at best Christian "adjacent". Which we know is a polite way of saying sorta, maybe, probably not.
As one who came back into the church a couple of years ago after more than five decades of dipping my toe in and out, This is where this book does well. It provides the whole story, at a slight level above basic and lays it out in its entirety. Here is what we believe and more importantly why we believe it.
About the writing. This is where i thought i had an issue. It is written in a style that tends to i thought initially, give to many examples of a singular point. Repetitive. I thought at one point of writing papers in Jr High where the goal was more quantity than quality. However every time i felt that way i read a point, or thought and thought to myself "that's a good point" or "never thought about it this way, but that is a great point"..etc. So by the end of the book, i did not notice the repetition as much as i began looking for that though or point i knew i would find. It seems i always found one.
In short this is an excellent book for its purpose. To provide in one place a thorough overview of Christianity and some arguments that are used to object and oppose it. A book that is helpful especially for the newer or returning Christian.

Winsome Words for The Way
I listen to Greg Koukl's podcasts every week. Therefore, I was anticipating the release of this book as Greg and his staff made several exasperated references to the difficult late-stages of writing. What this meant to me as a listener was that Greg was taking his time crafting the exact words he wanted to use to describe the way things actually are in this world.I was not disappointed. The book is so easy to read. He has scrubbed his vocabulary clean of trite phrases and "christianese" so that the matter at hand is clearly discussed. It will be a useful book for the Christian who wants to be able to explain their loyalty to Jesus with new words. AND it will be useful to non-believers who are curious about the Big Picture. If either wants to pull the thread on the scriptural support for any particular phrase that Greg uses, there are ample end notes that contain comments and Biblical citations.The book is organized on a path of five waypoints throughout history. It begins at the beginning with God. Our origin comes next with a description of man. The defilement of man leads to a rescue operation by Jesus that led to his death on a Roman cross. The resurrection of Jesus completed the rescue and culminates in the resurrection of all to stand at last before the throne of God. I won't spoil the ending...I appreciated the book enough to buy 15 copies for the students in the Ratio Christi Chapter at my university. We have spent the last semester (Spring 2017) going over the book as a book study and discussion starter. It worked great for this purpose. I encourage your small group to do the same. (I receive no compensation for these recommendations. I'm just a big fan of STR.)
