Why are you concerned in a negative way? "Great–just what we need: an attack on slogans! Well, at least he’s forthright about what he’s doing. Way to raise the level of discourse." Unfortunately, many people do think in terms of trite slogans that are inimical to a biblically vibrant faith. And do you think your comment raises the level of discourse? Janice: “Is anyone else concerned that such a book “is used as a textbook in Christian colleges and universities”?”

Why are you concerned in a negative way?

I will have to pickup a copy soon. Sarcasm: #4. “Who Are You to Judge Others?” My stepdaughter uses this line quite often. :) # 8. “Perception Is Reality.” That line is a standard at my workplace. #19 Yea all religions are basically the same, that is why there is so much disagreement within religions. Allright!

And as if I didn't have enough to read already...I just ordered your new book! Well, I'm only taking a couple of classes next semester...so I'll get caught up on my reading, and reading and...well you get the picture. Paul,

The book revision we've all been waiting for !! I just posted this link on my facebook wall. If any of you are in the habit of conversing with nonbelievers, you will find Paul Copan's writings invaluable. I've read: When God Goes to Starbucks, and had some great conversations because of it. I'm eager to get this above-mentioned book and start reading. God will use us as witnesses if we have the discipline to prepare ourselves, and are available to Him. Thanks Paul, for helping us sort it all out! You are being awesomely used by God in all that you are doing. Quite the line-up of endorsements there....can't go wrong. If this reads like a commercial..... so be it! PC is pure gold! Yay it’s here! The book revision we’ve all been waiting for !! I just posted this link on my facebook wall.
