Real answers for the tough questions today's Christians face

Whether you want to grow in your own understanding of Christianity or need trustworthy responses to the questions of friends, Dan Story has the answers. Defending Your Faith helps Christians see that their faith is reasonably and intelligently grounded on objective, verifiable evidence. And it equips readers to share these answers with family, friends, and coworkers who have questions about Christianity.

Story's book has filled a valuable niche in apologetics for the past twenty years. He has helped countless readers answer confrontational questions such as:

·         How do I know that God exists?

·         Can I trust the Bible?

·         Why is there evil and suffering in the world?

·         Is God an environmentalist?

·         Are the Bible and science in conflict?

In this revised and expanded edition, Dan Story goes even further. With the latest apologetic evidence and tactics, he not only answers those age-old questions but also deals with new challenges to Christianity that have emerged over the last two decades, including the ubiquitous presence of social media. He also responds head-on to the new breed of vocal, aggressive, man-on-the-street atheists. With culturally relevant strategies and a firm foundation of truth, Defending Your Faith will challenge you to share your faith with others while knowing that you are not alone as you witness for Christ.
