Scavenging my father's bookshelves again, I tried to find a book which would explain Christianity with less emphasis on the Bible and more on secular ideas. I wanted to know how Christians should explain things like homosexuality, the contradictions in Christianity etc.
As it turned out, the book was solidly founded on the Bible, and the author was pretty much a hard line Christian - which wasn't what I was looking for. However, some accounts of the working of God and various testimonies were indeed convincing, for example how John Wesley was able to attract thousands of people to listen to his preaching. Also, by constantly referring to the Bible, it proved the integrity of the Bible while justifying his arguments very convincingly.
The book laments the decline of the contemporary Church and Christians, and mentions the "real" revivals some time back. The book admonished the Christians to be disciplined, and concentrate only on God. Which is true really; either you should be a die hard Christian, or not at all. But I have yet to read what skeptics think about Jesus.
