A great book but error in the audio

Found important mistakes that are not present in the actual book thus audio book need to be corrected

Amen!

I became a Christian 39 years ago after reading this book and it’s still as magical now as it was then! Thank you Josh McDowell for being the catalyst in making me a believer in Christ.

Read the book instead...

Content is good. The voice of the reader is very hard for me to listen to compared to most Audible recordings. Just my opinion, but it would have served the customer better to employ a profession reader rather than just throw your son some work. The younger McDowell sounds like an excited adolescent and reads faster than necessary. Again ,just my opinion.

Narrator is a disservice

Once you get past the kid they used as a narrator and into the actual content of the book it's pretty good.

The narrator sounds condescending at best through most of the book which is not what you want when Christianity is an a low with young people. Sean did such a horrible job reading the book that I had to force myself to listen to it.

💞Affirming and ENCOURAGING 💞

LOVED the book💞! Sean McDowell's narration was revealing, riveting, engaging for any audience🙏💯💞!!! BEAUTIFUL ending🙏💯💞!!!!

Excellent!

A book that all Christians will enjoy. Is Jesus a liar, a lunatic o The Lord? In bold letters He is The Lord!!!

excellent book!

i really like it, all the information its really precise and you can see why we must believe in Jesus

Absolutely Fantastic

One of the best Christian Apologetic books ever written. Absolute must reads. Life changing. AAA +++

This book was the final piece of the puzzle that I needed in order to surrender to Christ. I was afraid of what I’d lose. Instead, I realized that He would never ask me to do anything that He wouldn’t enable me to do, and I surrendered!!! Thanks for your research you used to prove that Christ is our Lord and Savior!!!

Updated version is amazing, concise, erudite....

Well written, easily understood, flawless logic, great source of information to share the gospel with anyone. Highly recommended reading for all seekers and believers.

Great Read, highly informative and Engaging.

I'd recommend this for every Christian and Non Christian.
For Christians there is enough bitesize information yo affirm your faithful and aid you when evangelising to atheists and theists of other faiths.

for the atheists this will get you started on evidence that Christ is who he says he is

amazing book!

love the narrator - great enthusiasm. book is very logical and contains all the important bits to construct the argument even though its abridged version. must read for any Christian.

stunning

A great book for believer or unbeliever, quite profound and well narrated. Definitely worth to listen.

Truly, Christianity is not a religion

Christianity is not a religion, it's not an ethical idea; it's not a psychological phenomenon. It's a person - Jesus Christ - who is in the business of changing lives.
This is a well documented biography of Josh McDowell, well read by Sean his son, and very clear message of when he met his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through a dare from another Christian to search and seek the truth of who Jesus really is. We hear it all the time from sceptics, media, world views to prove it, and why does God allow this, and that etc... and still those who don't believe in God, and say there is no God, are yet the first to break His commandments by taking God's name in vain. Listening to this audible (I also have the book) brought joy, and excitement for more knowledge of God. Now the book goes into much greater depth, and proof than the recording. I believe Sean is reading from the 1st edition which his dad wrote. But none the less I can say, if you are searching the truth about God, then get the book. Have a read of it, follow up on Josh's research, you'll find the evidence is out there as plain as just taking a look above your head, on a clear night, up at the heavens above you. The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. Psalm 97:6

OK

This is a good book for someone who wants to accept Christianity but still looking for evidence. However, I find the evidence discussed here is a bit lame. The historical "evidence" here depends on the number of texts that support Christianity without validating the reliability of these texts and on a large number of prophecies that we cannot be sure if they were written before or after Jesus.
It is still a good book, trying its best to convince people of the undeniable evidence that it claims exists, while if you want to think objectively and not let yourself taken by the authors verbal excellency, you'll find the evidence as good as that of other religions (I'm trying not to name one). Atheists on the other side do not claim -as far as I know- that science is on their side as the author believes, but they rather refuse religion as an explanation and simply confess that they do not know.
