Why I Believe

A rational, pragmatic, and heartfelt foray into Christian apologetics. Young will be a welcome addition to any theological scholar's bookshelf, yet his approachable style, popular cultural references, and interesting personal anecdotes will not drive off even the most casual seeker. Wow. Mr. Young pulls out all the stops with a purely rational, reasonable look at the evidence for a higher lifeform/deity. If I were to write an apologetic, this would be it. Citing the greatest apologist of the twentieth century (C.S. Lewis), he builds his case by including other notable philosophers, Sartre, William Paley and others, to push forward his case for the existence of a designer. This is a must-read for anyone in intellectual circles. It is full of quotes, rationales, and logical appeals that will be attractive to anyone who has spent time in higher education. It is written at a readable level so that even those outside academics will find it engaging. Even if the final product is unconvincing to you, I believe that you will appreciate Mr. Young's intellectual legwork and his logical leaps will have left you wanting more, not less.- Adam Stump, Pastor, and Author of The Endless Summer
