Training in Christian apologetics is an absolutely necessary and vital part of Christian discipleship. Contend is a compelling volume designed to strengthen the faith of believers while challenging skeptics to reconsider the evidence for the truth of the Christian worldview. Written on a high school level, Contend is perfect for classrooms, small groups, or individual study.
I wanted to like this but the writing really annoyed me. The back and forth between authors. It felt more like a class report than a book. Some of the points were actually decent but I couldn't get past the way it was written....I know it's supposed to be for high school level but I didn't think they would even enjoy it. I actually feel bad writing this because the intent of the book is wonderful...but for me, it didn't deliver.
