If you're a Christian with doubts, or a skeptic with questions, this book is for you. The Christian faith is not a crutch for weak-minded people. Christianity is, and always has been, an evidence-based, thinking person's faith that has never asked anyone to follow it blindly. Bob Perry makes an easy-to-read case that Christianity provides us with the best explanation for all the evidence we see in the world around us. And that is the textbook definition of truth.
Bob focuses on the big picture in this work which he supplements with plenty of footnotes if you want to go deeper into a specific area. If you are new to apologetics, this book will open your eyes to the incredibly strong intellectual foundation of the Christian worldview.

I was captivated by this book’s clarity and insights. It moved me along through short chapters to the realization that Christian faith is supported by overwhelming evidence. This book not only gives clear explanations, it also invites scrutiny through bite-sized, coherent arguments.

Bob Perry explains scientific concepts using analogies and layman’s language that removes the mystery and opens the heart and mind to the majesty of God’s creation. The book is not judgmental or preachy - just the facts. Loved it!

This book is very well laid out. It presents rather complicated principles of logic and science in easy-to-read format. Each precept builds up from the previous one to make a cogent case for the God of the Bible from a science and biblical point of view.

People see the words "Christianity, and God" on a book and think, "More written words telling me what and how I should believe." Not this book. It's fun, interesting, and so good I bought some copies for my granddaughters!

Bob Perry's passion for most of the last two decades has been to defend his Christian convictions in the marketplace of ideas. He has also spent his entire adult life looking at the world from 35,000 feet. Now, he has combined those into a Big Picture view of the evidence -- an accessible, conversational defense of the Christian worldview.
Confident Christianity makes the case for faith in a way you've never seen it before.
