I believe that in this volume you are going to find a careful theologian with a caring pastoral heart seeking to help everyone think through some of the toughest topics out there. You are going to find a man that upholds the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture, and seeks to understand all of Scripture and apply it to all of life. As such, I believe that this volume, as well as its predecessor, belongs on your shelf as a go-to resource to help you answer and think biblically about some of the most challenging topics in Scripture.

Zack Ford, Youth Pastor, Grace Bible Church

Sam Storms tackles difficult questions in Tough Topics 2 like only a seasoned pastor can... This is a great book to use as a resource or to read straight through.

Matt Chandler
Lead Pastor, The Village Church & President-Acts 29 Church Planting Network, Flower Mound, Texas

...biblically grounded, theologically thoughtful, and practically applied. With the Bible as our guide, the exegetical, pastoral, and reasonable method Storms uses is a model of how we should find answers to the questions we have, so we can worship God as he deserves.

Erik Thoennes
Professor and Chair of Theology, Talbot School of Theology and Pastor, Grace Evangelical Free Church of La Mirada, California

Wouldn't it be great to take, say, fifteen minutes and think with Sam about the Trinity, or whether all religions lead us to God, or whether prayer really makes any difference in our lives? Tough Topics 2 offers us that.

Ray Ortlund
Lead Pastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee

Tough Topics 2 tackles twenty-five more challenging issues with the same biblical wisdom as employed in the original. Is this sequel as good as the original? Read it and see!

... thoughtful brief answers that aren't superficial. As a model pastor-theologian, he answers with clarity, wisdom, and grace.
