God, revelation, human nature, praying, the real nature of the universe, heaven, faith-in this highly readable book, B. W. Spinney offers a short introduction to these and other topics. The book is intended as an introduction to the Christian faith starting with the belief in God and then looking at the logical implications. It is a tool for evangelism in a culture that is disconnected from Christian ideas and perspectives. For years as a pastor, Spinney had been looking for an evangelistic tool that was not only meant for non-Christians but was aimed at a culture that was not familiar with the basic tenets of the faith. Most of these sorts of books assume some knowledge and respect for the Bible. Bible passages are often used to make points, and church lingo is frequently used. Yet modern culture no longer accepts the authority of the Bible, and Jesus is a mystery to many people. Therefore this book is an attempt to walk through the logic of Christianity, carefully pointing out that faith plays a key role in understanding and accepting the concepts of God, the Bible, sin, Jesus and so on.
