Why we can trust the Bible
Daniel Strange and Michael Ovey

Defending the Bible from critics 'without'
Developing confidence in Scripture
Let's face some uncomfortable facts: many Christians can struggle with exactly the same issues about the Bible as their non-Christian friends. Is God in control? Can he be trusted? Is he moral? Does he care and can he speak into my life and my struggles? Daniel Strange and Michael Ovey set out how we can we place our complete trust in Scripture, challenging both Christian's and those outside the church.

There isn't anything quite like it! The great thing about this book is the way it deals with the difficulties of belief in the Bible as the Word of God as a set of highly *contemporary* issues, some quite subtle but all highly important.

...here's a great book to insert vertebra into our elastic spine! In an accessible but robust way, it strengthens our confidence in scripture, builds a compelling apologetic for our conversations with non-Christians, and urges us to follow Jesus' example by living wholeheartedly by that transforming Word.

In this engagingly written and pastorally sensitive book, barriers to engaging the Bible seriously are gently but effectively dismantled and current challenges to biblical authority and relevance are convincingly answered. Read this book!
