On Guard: by William Lane Criag ✝️

the results. An overwhelming 82 percent of the atheists, agnostics, and other
non-Christians concluded that the evidence offered for Christianity was the
most compelling. And—get this!—forty-seven people walked in as unbelievers,
heard both sides, and walked out as believers. What’s more, not a single person
became an atheist. It was a stunning affirmation that Christians have an unfair
advantage in the marketplace of ideas: We have truth on our side!
You may never debate an atheist. Nevertheless, the Bible says in 1 Peter 3:15
that all Christians should be prepared to explain why they believe what they
believe—and to do so, as Bill Craig unfailingly does, with gentleness and respect.
In a world where the media often trumpet claims by skeptics, best-selling
books hawk atheism, and many university professors seem bent on destroying
the beliefs of young Christians, it’s increasingly important for all of us to be
able to articulate the reasons why our faith makes sense. And that’s why this
book is so absolutely vital.
In these pages, you’ll learn the most compelling arguments in favor of
Christianity. Not only that, but you’ll also find out how to respond to the
most popular objections to those arguments. You’ll discover that On Guard
is solidly factual, winsomely personal, consistently practical, and ultimately
convincing in its presentation of the case for Christianity.
So devour this book. Read and reread it. Underline and highlight it. Make
notes in the margins. Study and debate it with friends. Become conversant with
its logic and teachings. Try out its points with some of your skeptical friends.
In the end, here’s my prediction: You’ll emerge stronger in your own faith
and much more confident in sharing Christ with others.
