I have always found religion to be fascinating in many ways. Whether it be the written word, how others perceive it and the ultimate question "If there is a God, why...." and fill in the blank. The author approaches many of the questions as a lesson. Which I think is helpful in the sense that religion should be seen as a learning tool. I can appreciate how he address' free will as well. If God didn't create man to have free will then he would not be a man of choices. To me, that made a ton of sense. It isn't what God necessarily wants from his children to walk away from their path, but it's a lesson that he teaches.

The author also goes into depth with explanations about faith as well as other religion based faith. Where as I agree that faith is something hard earned and following the good word, I don't believe that other religions are any less than Christianity. For me, I learned a little more and found the answers that made sense to share with others. How to answer the challenging questions, how to reach out and want to learn more and over all, just a better understanding of Christianity. I felt like it could have more of a personal touch to it, or even help it to read as a guide rather than a textbook. Other than that, I found it to be intriguing and helpful.
