Tohru Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Not sure how to explain...I would like a book recommendation that explains in simple language why Christians believe what they believe. I know it is probably a complicated topic and there are lots of denominations, but if there was just one or two books you could give to a non-Christian to convert them, which would it be? Please don't say the Bible. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Since a faith is a life not words on a page (nor is it reason based but experienced based), I'd invite them to church. Although the converting business is up to God (I wouldn't invite them with the eye on converting them, but if they were interested in meeting God, I'd invite them to where He is). You'll get a variety of replies! ETA- if you absolutely need a book, this is one of my favorites for introducing the orthodox faith to people. HTH!

specialmama Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The Case for Christ The Case for Faith Both written by Lee Strobel. He also has a very engaging video out which covers the material in the books. Highly recommended. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergath Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've never met anyone that would change their entire belief system after reading one or two books on a different religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. He makes it all so very logical. Even my tending towards atheist aspergers son was pretty convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermom Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. :iagree: Though I certainly wouldn't expect it to convert a person (that's the Holy Spirit's job), it's a good basic explanation of plain Christianity.
