A Shot of Faith to the Head

As a big fan of apologetics - rather, as a fan of good reasoning - I quite enjoyed this work by Mitch Stokes.  Mitch takes an interesting stance in this book. Rather than a defensive tack (i.e. defending the Christian faith), he uses an offensive approach, directly and systematically taking down the New Atheist philosophy.

The author himself is a Christian philosopher, and obviously a brilliant man who quite eloquently makes his case. Yet he does so in a way that is fully readable and understandable by the common man. I enjoy good rhetoric; however, when a writer gets too "heady" or over complicates concepts and arguments, I'll quickly put a book down. This one definitely kept my interest.

I'd recommend this book to just about anyone. Whether you have a deeply held belief, or you're just starting out on your walk of faith, we all have moments where that faith is shaken. Questions arise, doubts enter in, we read or hear things that cause us to wonder. In those times, we need a "shot of faith to the head" - a reminder, if you will, of why we believe what we believe.
