"I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.

No question should be off limits if it is asked with the intent of seeking truth. But many Christians do not know how to answer some of the hard questions about the Bible and the Christian faith. Could you answer these questions? What would you do if you were asked one of these questions from an unsaved friend? What would you do if your children asked you one of these questions? 1. If God is real, then why doesn't he show himself? 2. If God is real, then why does he allow suffering and evil to continue? 3. How can God be real when secular science shows that everything has an explanation without God? 4. If God is a merciful, kind, and forgiving God, then why did he order the slaughter of whole people groups including men, women, children, and their animals too? 5. Why would a loving God send anyone to an eternal hell? 6. How can God be real since the Bible says God is love but commands the barbaric death of innocent animals in the Old Testament and Jesus says to eat his body and drink his blood? And there are other weird things in the Bible too. 7. How can God be real since we don't see a difference between people who call themselves Christians and the rest of the world? This series is designed to equip Christians to answer these types of hard questions in defending the Bible and the Christian faith. We must be able to respond to these types of questions or else we will not be confident in our faith, and therefore we will be weak in witnessing. I want you to be able to answer these questions quickly and confidently to be an effective and passionate ambassador for Christ.

Jesus divided the world into two groups—those who follow him and those who don't. But what happens when someone thinks he or she is a Christian, but isn't? With his witty, engaging style, Mike McKinley takes readers on a journey of what it means to be a Christian. He asserts that "manipulative evangelism techniques and a poor understanding of the gospel have resulted in an abundance of professing Christians who have no idea what it means to follow Christ." Each chapter title begins with "You're not a Christian [if/when/just because you]..." As he surveys what it means to be Christian, McKinley offers criteria for evaluating one's standing before God. Readers are guided through a series of challenges to reflect, repent, remember, and report to another person. Am I Really a Christian? ends with chapters on salvation and the local church. This unique book is written for nominal or new Christians and can be used in personal or small-group study.
