I highly recommend it for both the Christian who has struggled with "pat" answers and also the non-believer who has prickled against what they may have heard about God.
The book is easy to read but will take several readings to really digest and apply. As a rather jaded Christ-follower, I really appreciated Myers' honesty, frankness, and compassion. Myers digs into the issues, pointing out the problems with each while also giving solid, Biblical "alternative" solutions. But Myers delivers-he address cliche answers we give (and have been given) about God, faith, prayer, social justice and more. He doesn't pull punches, which we all like when addressing our enemy, but we rarely like it so much when dealing with ourselves. Myers has a down to earth tone that is warm and honest. But this one looked to address many of those pat answers, so I gave it a try. I am very, very critical when it comes to "Christian" books-mostly because so many of them are full of platitudes and soundbites that ring hollow in the light of my experiences. I was asked to pre-read this book by the author and provided with advanced access in exchange for an honest review.
