- This book is great if you're looking for quick, short answers on a range of topics. However, I felt that the book lacked the detail needed to fully get to the bottom of these questions. As all non-fiction books are, this book was very biased. It became clear to me while reading that David Robertson is an evangelical/conservative Christian, and who is politically very conservative. He made some bold, irrational statements about Liberals and atheists (and assumed atheists must be liberal) which
This book is an excellent book for high school youth group. It has questions that really are asked by students. With concise and thought-provoking answers. Not deep, but very good for giving somebody a place to begin.
Simplistic, might be comforting for those who already believe; ironically the “ask” idea itself is I really explored; there’s simplistic answers given that actually discourage people from thinking / doubting. ( free sample that gave about 6 “chapters” ). Not worth wasting money on.
Even though I didnt care for the book personally, I gave it 3 stars because it accomplishes it's purpose. I read this book because it was given to me by a friend, it's not the type of book I normally like to read. Robertson states in the preface he wrote this book specifically for teenagers and he only gives a brief answer to 52 questions. If you want to find out more about a certain topic he provides a list of additional reading. Because of my background, I already knew the answers to the quest...
This could have been a 4 star had it not been for a mind boggling blunder on Page 145, where the author seems to underplay the seriousness of a particular sin. The book is still worth giving away to 15-17yr olds!
Read with the intention to give to some in our church’s youth group. Concise, understandable, and Biblical (or ‘real Word’) responses to good questions.
Does exactly what it says on the tin: gives real answers to real questions.This book is especially excellent for Christian kids - it asks all the questions I wish I’d had answered when I was growing up. David Robertson does well to keep it at a level easily accessible for all levels of teens, and keeps it short and within a pattern that makes it great for weekly reading. I’ll be recommending and using with my youth group in Glasgow. The one downside was the short format meant some questions didn...
This book is absolutely disgusting! How dare you compare transgender people to racism and misogyny! I’m my opinion saying that that is racist, sexist and transphobic all in one! And that was just one example of the many discriminative notes in this book. Being trans brings no harm to anyone and as God is ‘all loving’ he would accept people for what they are! You should ashamed for your sins which you’ve displayed in this book! There is no justification for what you have written and as an ex - Ch...
Biblical answers to real world questions. A great resource for young adults and any new Christian.
Seems doctrinally sound. I like that it was always pointing to a relationship with God and His word. However, I don't know that those having the specific questions would find adequate answers. It's just really hard to answer questions when every situation is different. There is a very good suggested further reading list.
