Book Review: Donald J. Johnson's How to Talk to a Skeptic

Most Christians don't approach their faith with enough solidarity that if someone was to present a debate about it they could follow through it without being the one to cave to the lack of answers they have. Johnson provides a pretty basic book that is easy in beginning to approach your faith with a more logical presentation. He lets people know that you aren't going to convince everyone though, and that there are varying reasons people don't believe that isn't always rooted in being able to prove them right. Some of the book was long winded, and also seemed to repeat a point easily gotten, but overall I thought for those who are beginning to perceive their faith with a more logical approach it's a good read.

Summary: We've all known someone who is a skeptic. Whether it's someone else or yourself. Johnson provides a nicely laid out book that explains an approach to your faith that may not only explain it well to someone else, but also will give you more security in what you believe. He begins with simple advice, and builds on the advice from there to be more complex in how you approach someone who is uncertain or an unbeliever. Overall, Johnson makes a good point about why people are rejecting the faith, and that may not be based on scientific evidence at all, but the presentation they've been given by others who claim the same faith.
