Twelve Points That Show Christianity Is True: A Handbook on Defending the Christian Faith, Paperback

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me" (John 14:6). Many people have difficulty accepting this claim because it seems so narrow. After all, there are many claimants to truth in the current marketplace of ideas. Indeed, Christ does not call on us to make a leap of faith in the dark but to take a step of faith in the light-in the light of the evidence. So, it is necessary for a truth seeker to demand reasonable evidence before he or she makes a firm or final decision. We encourage everyone to look carefully and with an open mind at the premises that we use to conclude that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, life, and the only way to God the Father. We set our evidence forth in twelve chapters which build logically upon one another. Chapter one provides a firm foundation upon which chapter two and the subsequent chapters build upon. The conclusion of each chapter serves as a premise for the chapter(s) that succeeds it. We begin our quest for truth on the ground level with an examination of whether there is such a thing as truth and then move step by step, chapter by chapter, to see whether Christianity is true and the Gospel of Christ is the only way of salvation, as it claims to be.
