I Dont Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist Review
For the past year, Ben and I have had the opportunity to use and review several books from Apologia which take strengthened our resolve (and confidence) to share Jesus with those around us, by equipping usa in apologetics. The What Nosotros Believe series of curriculum is written for children grades 3-8.
Review: Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here?
Review: Who Is My Neighbor? And Why Does He Demand Me?
Today, I get to introduce my readers to a new apologetics curriculum from Apologia, written for loftier school students (and, every bit far as I am concerned, adults, likewise!), based on the book, I Don't Have Plenty Faith to exist an Atheist.
I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist, written by Norman Fifty. Geisler and Frank Turek, maintains that it does indeed take more faith to not believe in the i true God, than it does to believe. In fact, they become so far as to say that not having faith in God means you exercise accept faith in something non God. Every worldview, including atheism, requires faith.
"Ane who claims to exist a skeptic of one set of beliefs is actually a true believer in another set of beliefs." (Phillip E. Johnson)
Nosotros all operate in the realm of probability. The question is, who has more evidence for their determination?
Throughout the book, the authors guide you lot to knowing and understanding why the logical, reasonable conclusion — the truth — lies in Christianity. They brainstorm past explaining the 3 about common worldviews — theism, pantheism, and atheism. Once you lot have a grasp on these worldviews, yous are taken on a journeying to discover if and why Christianity is the one worldview congenital on truth. Considering, after all . . .
- Truth about reality is knowable.
- The opposite of true is imitation.
- It is true that the theistic God exists.
- If God exists, then miracles are possible.
- Miracles tin can be use to confirm a message from God.
- The New Testament is historically reliable.
- The New Testament says Jesus claimed to be God.
- Jesus' claim to be God was miraculously confirmed.
- Therefore, Jesus is God.
- Whatever Jesus teaches is true.
- Jesus taught that the Bible is the Discussion of God.
- Therefore, it is true that the Bible is the Word of God and annihilation opposed to it is faux.
Don't you dearest that?
Of course all of the tools needed to back up these claims are taught to you, the reader, in the book. If fact, yous will learn to employ several arguments (Cosmological Statement, Teleological Argument/Anthropic Principle, and Moral Argument) to defend this truth.
If you lot are a Christian, subsequently reading this volume, your faith will be even stronger, and you will have the conviction and tools needed to defend your organized religion against the fallacies and arguments of any non-Biblical worldview. If you are one is who seeking answers to questions nearly Christianity, this book volition help you to sympathize ameliorate who God is and how nosotros tin be confident in the conventionalities of the one truthful God.
Read sample pages from the book.
The I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist Workbook is a become along study guide for the book. While it is perfectly adequate to read the book without using the workbook, the opposite is not truthful. The Workbook is designed to enrich, record, and solidify learning for your high schoolhouse student who is reading the volume, I Don't Take Enough Organized religion to exist an Atheist.
The Workbook is a nearly 300-page screw bound book organized in a logical way to move through the disquisitional points of the book, equipping your student to defend his own faith, boldly. Information technology is filled with supplemental information, study questions and activities purposed to encourage your student to reflect on the content of the book and bring about discussion.
The main content is divided into iv sections:

Read sample pages from the Workbook.
I Don't Have Plenty Faith to be an Atheist is available from Apologia for $16.
The Workbook is also available for $33.
I fear that my disability to express the sheer meatiness of the content of both this book and the accompanying workbook volition exit this review sorely lacking. It stirred things within me that I only cannot share with you. Non yet. So let me just say this to yous — if both defending and sharing your faith is important to you, this book should be in your library. If you don't have the relationship with God you should, and you wonder why, this book is for you. The curriculum should exist considered for every Christian homeschool student for high school credit as well. Information technology's an investment non only in the life of your own family, just in the life of each person y'all will impact with the information it contains. If y'all are wandering this world without Jesus as your Savior, you need to read this volume and then determine which worldview is the well-nigh reasonable. I would exist honored to hash out that with you farther, if you wish.
