Many people assume that Christianity is simply a nice story for kids, a comforting crutch to lean on, or completely out of touch with modern life.
In this warm, honest book, Ben Shaw invites skeptical readers to think again. He outlines seven reasons why Christianity is worth considering—or reconsidering—not least because it offers some thought-provoking and rational answers to our deepest questions.
Ben Shaw was brought up in a non-Christian home and held many of the common objections to faith himself. He writes with warmth and empathy to encourage readers to investigate the person of Jesus and decide for themselves whether Christianity has credible answers to the meaning of life.

This is Ben Shaw at his best, doing what he does best: communicating the Christian faith to those who don’t quite know what to make of it. Written for believers and doubters alike, the book is a perfect blend of contrasts: informative and moving, funny and sad, worldly-wise yet pulling no punches about the significance of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
This is a book that connects to real people. Its chapter headings got me in. They’re all the right questions, and Ben gives compelling answers. It’s disarming, thoughtful, warm and hugely relevant.
A very personal and personable case for the open-minded to consider or reconsider the claims of Christ. It’s easy to pick up and hard to put down. Enjoy the challenge to think again.
