This book is suggested reading for those doing the Alpha course. I read it trying to put myself in the position of someone who either doesn’t believe in God, or who has just come to God and wants answers to these questions, but of course, answering them is not an easy thing to do.

I found Gumbel’s style of writing quite patronising and also dated. One would hope that more recent editions might reflect the 2010s rather than the 1990s when it was first published. I found his chapter on homosexuality particularly patronising. I know that the bible teaches that homosexuality is wrong… and this, for me, is the main stumbling block when it comes to religion. Nicky talks about gays being ‘cured’ – but I don’t see it as an illness that needs curing. I don’t believe that people choose their sexuality. I also don’t believe that God, who is merciful, would turn his back on someone just because of their sexuality. With regards to this subject, the church and I will just have to agree to disagree.

The question about other religions is an interesting one. It’s very much presented as “it’s my way or the highway” – but none of us will no the truth until the day we die. Again, I would have expected more tolerance.

I think evangelical Christians will love this book – but those with no faith will not be persuaded by its answers.

I have completed the Alpha course and read this book before but I always believe it is beneficial to be reminded of the most essential questions many people ask, as well as to remind myself of the fundamental principles that Christianity is all about.
This book provides candid and honest answers to questions like:
Christianity - Boring, Untrue, Irrelevant?
Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
How can I be sure of my faith?
Why and how should I pray?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
What about the Church?
How can I make the most of my life?

And many more!
