    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book at the time.  It was reassuring to have something so concrete in high school.  While I think it was helpful at the time, I find myself not needing it as much at this stage of my life.  Hopefully this is because I have moved past the need for an intellectual defense of my fai...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18113313">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A journey investigating the evidence of Jesus -  and was pretty interesting.  The one thing I didn't like is the author always knew the answers to the questions he was posing to people he interviewed.  He had read their books, he had done the research -  the interviews just seemed to be there to inc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14664200">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was recommended to me by a good friend a couple of years ago when I was going through a major faith crisis--from which I currently have not completely emerged.  I went out and bought the book, put it into a basket of books that &quot;I'm going to read just as soon as I have time and have f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76141452">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My approach to religion is more faith-based than his, so I found his constant seeking for &quot;proof&quot; a bit annoying.  Still what he learned was very interesting.  It didn't change my feelings about Jesus at all, but it added some information I didn't have before.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second time I read the book...this time as part of a small group with others and reviewing the DVD material that Lee Strobel has created.
