Publisher's summary

The goal of God’s Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty is straightforward: to help listeners develop "a faith that is real and credible - and strong enough to help others find faith in God." To that end, Rice Broocks outlines a roadmap that guides seekers to acknowledge the most basic truths of Christianity:

• There is overwhelming and exciting evidence for God’s existence.
• The God who exists is indeed the God of the Bible.
• God has revealed his nature through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Persuasive arguments crafted with tools borrowed from logic, science, and philosophy, as well as scripture, solidify the faith of the Christian listeners and provide starting points for discussions with skeptics. With clear, easy-to-follow explanations of key concepts and controversies, God’s Not Dead is apologetics for the 21st century, presented in layman’s terms. Listeners will be empowered not only to talk about their own faith with confidence but to lead others to a relationship with Jesus.

Not Bad for What it is

The book itself was not bad. If you are looking for a comprehensive apologetic for Christianity then you need to read Cold Case Christianity or The Evidence That Demands A Verdict because that is not what this book is supposed to be. This book is a down and dirty overview of the most compelling evidence for God and Christianity but does not get into the weeds of the evidence as do the afore mentioned books. Because of that it is much easier to understand than the other two and will give you a good foundation upon which to build. After you are familiar with the contents of this book, the more in depth apologetic works become much more clear. As for the narrator, it is always a boon to have the author do the actual narration, but this one comes off as an amateur. His tone is flat throughout most of the reading making it hard to focus on the material for long periods of time but there were no mistakes that I noticed either. Overall a good technical performance lacking a little on the artistic side only. I expect his second book will go further into the weeds of the evidence as it will be needed to answer questions that this book undoubtedly created and that his performance will improve as practice makes perfect.

This covers all the bases

Author covers scientific proof, philosophical proof and speaks concisely and to the point. Other books on apologetics seem to have been written for their colleagues and not the lay person but this one was reader friendly without being simplistic, challenging without being impossible. Love the narrator’s voice as well

So much proof of God in this book!

I am extremely impressed with how much proof of a God that this book has in it! And although it was full of facts, and very educational, it was very interesting as well. That is very important to me because in my case if a book is even just a little to boring, I tend to put off or stop reading it. Bottom line: Gods Not Dead all ways had a way of catching my attention and making me interested.

GOD'S NOT DEAD!

Easy to listen, loved the length of chapters.
Content was well supported and explained.

God is real!

Rice Brooks narrative was very easy listening and inspirational. God is not dead . Amen!

atheist absurd

I felt he proved through history and the Bible that God is real and Jesus resurrected.

Great Listen!!!

Loved it. Narrator was fantastic. I learned helpful information! I can read or listen over and over.

Questioning your Faith?

If you are overwhelmed with the negative comments of your Christian faith and need some reassurance and solid facts than look no further.

excellent!

great read. very informative and well written. inspirational. highly recommend. thought provoking. faith builder. very factual and historical.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!

Personally I would recommend this book to anyone but even more so to those who struggle with their faith and/or don't believe there's a God at all. This is an awesome audiobook for those who believe in God but still have a lot of unanswered questions in their mind. And if you enjoy discussing theological history or principles with others this book will give you clear definitive answers to any question concerning the existence of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. I've gone through the Bible from beginning to end at least a half-dozen times and at first it was intimidating and at times difficult to understand however the more I studied the more God touched my heart making it easier to understand. If you have seen the movie God is Not Dead don't be confused and think that this is merely the movie in print because as good as the movie was this book goes into much more depth and I guarantee it will strengthen your faith and help you to understand the word of God, creation and how to build your own relationship with God. I look forward to reading many more reviews of this book. May God bless you all.
