GoodBookStall Review:
This book is brilliant. From being a basic classroom classic to an academic apologetic, this will become standard reading for many over the next 10 years. The secular series produced by Collins ‘Need to know?’ has just been augmented with ‘Christianity’ in a readable, clear and life informing addition. The physical feel of the book is sturdy – I presume to make it teenage proof – while the content is far reaching and explains everything from the Bible, Jesus, Church History and Faith Today. There is a ‘Must know’ quote on most pages and the whole is packed with quotes and information which is perfectly explained and clear for all ages. I have been reading Christian books for 30 years and still found new things to explore, as well as old things made clear. A classic.
