We know church kids today have real questions and often can't defend their faith. Others are honestly seeking the truth. Truth Matters is written for this querying audience. It supplies them with well-reasoned responses to their often honest questions or to the objections they read or hear. Those questions may come from professors, friends, or their own personal reflections. Readers will discover the kind of historical information and thinking skills that high schoolers and young adults need for a vibrant faith, making them better able to appreciate and articulate what the Bible claims as truth. This book is an enriching lifesaver for curious young minds and hearts everywhere. - Back cover.
