          <body><![CDATA[I think my issue isn't even necessarily with Keller's intent per se so much as what I know a lot of people's intent with the book is.  I was a part of a book study group at our national conference using this book and many people in the room essentially saw this book as a bunch of proofs they could use to finally convince their atheist friend how wrong they are.  My low rating come's not so much from a view on Keller's intentions so much as my view that a book like this can often be used to pick more fights than it can to build relationships.  Maybe it's different elsewhere but in my immediate context this book was more of a weapon than a hand being reached out.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[It was a pretty alright little read.  It was really plainly written so it went by pretty quickly.  Essentially it takes on 10 &quot;spiritual urban legends&quot; in Christianity and tries to state what the actual biblical position is on the issues at hand.
