“Pithy, clear, winsome answers to today's big questions”
(Review written for 'Tricky (ebook)')
I read and reviewed this book for a summer camp - I challenged the young people to buy the book, read the chapter addressing the question(s) they had, and chat to a leader during the week. The succinct chapters and clear writing make this an easy read so a manageable task for the campers!
The authors seek to address the questions (including 'Doesn't Jesus ruin your fun?' and 'What does Jesus really think about being gay?') by going back to the Bible, and the gospels in particular, which really cuts to the heart of the issues, and helps move away from conjecture and discussing 'the church' and its position.
The writing style is honest and engaging - especially with difficult moral questions. And the authors are ready to challenge readers to take Jesus as his word.
I would say that for anyone who has done some reading or thinking on a particular question, this book may not have enough detail. But for anyone wrestling with these issues for the first time, this is a brilliant book. And for all of us seeking to answer questions from others, this is a hugely helpful resource.
