How Do We Know the Bible Is True - a Creation Conversations review

Written by Ken Ham (President of Answers in Genesis) and Bodie Hodge, How Do We Know the Bible Is True? is a book that I believe all pastors should have in their church libraries, and all Christians should keep on their shelves at home. This book is relevant to today's issues; it answers questions that many new Christians may not know, and it helps defend the faith.

The book tackles many topics, including my favorites (but not limited to):
- Is the Old Testament reliable? This chapter discusses how historical records were kept back in Biblical days.
- Is the New Testament reliable? This chapter explains why that it IS reliable.
- Is Genesis a Derivation from Ancient Myths? Is it all just hearsay or legends passed down?
- What about the Factual Claims in the DaVinci Code? I love this chapter!
- Polygamy in the Light of Scripture
- Laminin and the Cross - fascinating chapter!!
- How Were People Saved Before Jesus Died on the Cross?

This is a book that can easily be shared with a teen class at church or even included in a homeschool curriculum for older students. It would also be perfect for a church Bible study or a book discussion. Or if you're like me and you enjoy reading Apologia and Hermeneutics, you'll enjoy this one as well. :)

Beyond Opinion - A Book Sneeze Review

I received this book as a BookSneeze member to read and review. This book is divided into three parts: a section for challenges Christian face and suggestions for facing those challenges, a portion for understanding those questions and answers Christians face, and the last part focuses on living life with apologia.

This book is written with a beginner in mind, but I'll be honest and say that he "lost" me at points in the book. As someone who juggles several books at once, this was a book that I had trouble continuing. I love the topic of apologia, and Zacharias makes some very very good points, but at times the book lost my interest. This book would be a great supplement to a beginning Apologetics course.

All in all, this is a book that I feel is valuable. It will remain on my Bible reference shelf as a good source on Apologia.

Here's the run-down of what I think of the book:
Ease of reading ................ 3/5
Supporting Details ............. 5/5
Sufficient Length .............. 4/5
Ability to hold my interest ... 3/5
Overall Impression ............. 4/5
