Explanation Conducive To Books Truth Matters: Confident Faith in a Confusing World

In an interview with Christianity Today in 2012, Ed Stetzer shared that according to LifeWay research among young adults who had attended church regularly for at least a year in high school, 70% stop attending regularly for at least a year between ages 18-22. However, 35% of these had returned to attending twice a month or more by the time they were surveyed for the study. This means that about 4 out of 10 kids leave the church and NEVER RETURN.
 
Here is how leading experts describe our church kids today: They are unarmed and incapable of defending their faith. They possess a faith that cannot withstand the scrutiny of trials or intellectual questions. They have a shallow belief system. They lack a robust faith. They haven’t learned how to think. They are embarrassingly ignorant of our faith.
 
Truth Matters is written directly to this audience, arming them with well-reasoned responses to the accusations that are most likely to appear in their lives, either as upcoming lecture notes and test questions or as inner qualms and questions. Things like: What gives the Bible any authority or credibility? Where is God in a world full of suffering? Why should Christianity be any more believable than any other religious system? And many, many more.
 
Easy to read yet loaded with meat and substance, this book is a level-headed reaction to those who equate Christian faith with “blind faith,” even those whose subtle or stated goal is to separate students from their religious traditions. Readers will discover the kind of historical information and thinking skills that build a sturdy backbone of confidence in high schoolers and young adults, making them able to defend by “reasoned faith” what the Bible claims as truth.
 
Loosely organized around the theological skepticism of New York Times bestselling author (and southern college educator) Bart Ehrman, this jam-packed counterclaim is a book that parents will want to buy for their kids, a book that youth and student leaders will want to work through one-on-one and in discipleship groups—a book that could prove a lifesaver for young minds and hearts everywhere.

Weigh Up Regarding Books Truth Matters: Confident Faith in a Confusing World

I read this book for my youth group back in Utah. My youth leader was doing a study on this book, and wanted to know how hard it was for a 7th grader to read. Great book for someone who has questions about the Bible or people who know someone who has questions about the Bible. It was hard for a 7th grader at some parts but most of it I could understand.

Insightful, scholarly, readable. Recommended for every University student - for the believing and skeptical alike.

Truth affects our faith. B

This is a great book, refuting arguments that are sometimes used by college professors against the validity and truth of the Bible , especially focusing on answering the teachings of Bart Ehrman (who is apparently a famous guy who rejects Christianity).The book provides answers for many of the mistaken reasons people give for rejecting Christianity, clears up a lot of misunderstandings and objections, and answers plain honest questions too.I loved the structure of this book! Everything is

The words of Pontus as he faced Christ still rings today-What is truth? Jesus reply is significant for us today that he came to testify to the truth. Truth never changes, anything else is a lie. With so many changes, we struggle to know the truth and what is more important when faced with truth, can we handle it. The book was written for those entering college to be a tool when faced or confronted with conflicting world views. Tolerance has become such a god in our culture, that it's effects

This was an excellent book! Very readable, written for young people just entering college, it covers several topics that skeptics of Christianity argue in an academic seeing to disprove the truth of the Bible and gives clear answers to their arguments. It teaches how to be an apologist for Christ without being argumentative or ugly.

A clear but concise defense of some of the most prevalent criticisms to the Christian faith. The authors do a good job of stating the arguments in simple terms without making it simplistic. Although the primary target audience is the college age group, it could serve as a helpful primer to anyone wants to answer these questions in their own mind, or provide a defense to others.I am excited to read the follow up book, coming out this fall, Truth in a Culture of Doubt. This will be a more in
