Is Christianity for those who can't get a life? What use is a dying God? Why is the Church so naff? If you've faced questions like these and felt tongue-tied, this is the book for you. It will help you talk more confidently with your friends about the hope that keeps you going. And during those times when you find that you are questioning your faith, the answers and ideas here may help you come to a deeper understanding of what you really believe. The user-friendly format of each chapter begins with a 'What they say' section. The author then identifies the key issue, before suggesting (in reassuring detail) how you might respond. All through the book you will find stories, as well as inspiring, poignant and witty quotes to work into your conversations whenever the opportunity may arise!

Reviews
"'occasionally you read something so refreshingly sane and intelligent that you find yourself thinking that there's life in the old Church yet. John Pritchard...has written just such a handbook....' (On Beginning again). '...an excellent book on the mystifying subject of prayer...very enjoyable and profound...' (On How to Pray)."
