Mr. Strobel attempts to provide reasons for having faith, and for the most part fails. The book is broken into chapters that address various objections/questions regarding Christianity. He interviews "experts" in the various topics presented, but the book is horribly one-sided in that all the experts (of course) have immense faith; additionally I found the "experts'" arguments unconvincing and weak. Most seemed to be something like, "If God exists, then you should have faith in Him," which is obviously a chicken-and-egg sort of approach. The chapter on evolution is ignorant in misguided at best, deceitful at worst. There was one chapter (on doubt) I actually felt was helpful, but most of the book was weak and vague, and it seems the author believes every atheist must be a drunken, theiving heathen. You'd be better off just picking up your Bible (or buying one if you don't have one) and starting there.
