I am an avid Christian book reader but I was afraid to read A Shot of Faith to the Head by Mitch Stokes, because I thought it would be too difficult. Well, I won't exaggerate, this is book is filled with logic and arguments, so it's no piece of cake. This book is about Christian arguments that defeat Athiest arguments. So deep thinking stuff. And I've never gone to Bible College. But curiosity won out and I'm so glad I picked up this book. The arguments would be easy for people good with logic but they are a challenge for this girl to wrap her head around. Still, after reviewing the points a couple of times, I feel much better equipped to explain my own faith. What a blessing! I hope more Christians pick up this book. And girls, you should know this stuff! The guys aren't the only smartie pantses that can understand arguments, Christian apologetics and theology! This book is beneficial but it's no cake walk for those that aren't naturally gifted in logic.
This book had lofty goals: Take a few of the most important intellectual weapons, tactics, and strategies from recent Christian philosophy and put them in your hands. The goal here isn’t to convince atheists to believe in God; it’s to train you to handily defend yourself. You’ll be equipped to handle arguments in ways you never thought possible.
So, I always want to know in book reviews: Did the book work? Did it do what it claimed to do? Yes! The answers can be kind of complicated but yes. I need to re-read a few places to study up but yes, this book has good logical answers that make sense.
This book is interesting and catches your attention. It makes you think. Read hard at times! But the payoff is worth it. I was up till 2 in the morning reading because I couldn't put it down!
I received this book free of charge from the publisher in exchange for this review but I did really give my honest opinion
