Beginning with the simple statement that "God exists," Harber dives into social, cultural and intellectual arguments against the existence of God and doesn't back down.
However, he does so with great care and compassion for those who might not believe in the existence of God, and in simple terms explains why the God of the Bible does indeed exist. After that, he undertakes to present the basic theology that Jesus is God and that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Harber admirably avoids bogging down the book with heady, philosophical discussions designed for intellectuals and scholars, although he writes of things that require much thought. Reasons for Believing speaks to modern seekers in a language they can understand.
This is an ideal book to pass along to a non-Christian who is open to discussing the claims of Christianity--not just for its well-thought-out defense of Christian basics but also because Harber pulls no stops in dealing with the gospel of Christ.
He closes the book with a chapter entitled "The Verdict," which bridges the gap between merely discussing the claims of Christ and actually acting on them to believe that Jesus is Who He claims to be.
If you know someone who has honest questions about Christianity, pass along to them a copy of Reasons for Believing. It could lead to a life-changing experience.
