Faith Is for Weak People Responding to the Top 20 Objections to the Gospel edition by Ray Comfort Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

• This book, Faith is For Weak People Responding to the 20 Objections to the Gospel is a well written book on apologetics. The author, Ray Comfort, takes 19 questions that people have about the gospel and talks about each. The title states 20 objections, but what is important to note in this is that he spends 2 chapters on one topic. These chapters discuss the question, "what sort of God would threaten to torture people in hell forever just because they don't believe in Him?" I think that question is a good question to spend 2 chapters discussing. That is a large question in itself. This book is full of many different good questions.
  
  I appreciated how he used the story of David and Goliath in explaining how Christians can face fear when it comes to sharing the gospel. Personally, I think it is true that there is fear when it comes to sharing the gospel. There are places that Christians feel more comfortable when it comes to sharing such as in a location where all are known.
  
  When it comes to sharing the gospel, I have been asked hard questions and they have not always come from nonbelievers but from those who sincerely want to know answers to difficult questions. Ray Comfort does a good job in tackling a few of the larger questions that I have encountered when it comes to sharing faith. I hope that others who read this book will find it helpful not necessarily in answering their questions in full, but at least giving them a starting point to further discussion with someone who has studied theology more. I received this book from Baker Books solely for an honest review of the book.
• This latest book by Ray Comfort, Faith is for Weak People, has a great deal of good information for fellow believers in Jesus Christ. Rather than focus on logical arguments to prove God is real, rather, Ray uses the Bible to show that God "[chose] the foolish things of the world that He might shame the wise" (1 Corinthians 127). Although it seems the book title is out to hurt those of us who choose to follow Christ Jesus, it is one of the objections others who do not understand God or His word use in excusing themselves.
  
  Ray Comfort started his ministry from his home nation of New Zealand around the age of twenty. Since then he has written sixty plus books, moved to Los Angeles, where he preaches open air style at Huntington Beach. He is a Christian apologist, explaining God's love by using the Ten Commandments, first, then he moves on to why we need a Savior in Jesus Christ. It is the same method used by other men of the faith, such as John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon and others.
  
  Along with Ray's congenial manner and his easy-going temperament Faith is for Weak People ought to be his latest hit in the Christian book space. Because of the fact we are inherently in-born with a need to work for the things we have, we also seem to think we can work for God's grace, salvation, but this is the furthest from the truth! In comparison, His anger is on mankind, due to the sin Adam and Eve committed back in the Garden of Eden. God made sure to give mankind another way to reach Him, through the innocence and righteousness of Jesus Christ who died in our place on Calvary's cross. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Baker Books for a fair and honest review.
• I just finished this new book by Ray Comfort, as many of you will know as a speaker at homeschooling events, but also an apologist and he has written various other books. In this new book Faith Is For Weak People – Responding to the Top 20 Objects to the Gospel, Ray shares the importance of sharing our Christian faith and how to easily answer some tough question’s that are often asked by those struggling in the faith or unbelievers.
  
  I don’t know about you, but those are some of the most difficult discussions I have had with others and sometimes my words get all jumbled as I am trying to speak and share. Sometimes I think, what happens if they don’t ever want to speak to me again, but that is not for us to be concerned about Ray reminds us. “As Christians, we are not only separate from this world, but we speak a different language. All we want is to give them the ultimate free lunch “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 623). But there are things that get lost in translation. Some think we’re intellectually bankrupt or we are after their money or we want them to join some weird cult. They also don’t like the fact that the lunch comes through “Jesus Christ our Lord.” His names makes demons tremble and sinners nervous.” However, with the help of God, Ray reminds us, we can bring the mountains low and fill up the valleys. What is it that is needed, the Gospel, it is the only cure. Ray shares that statics that many of us Christians don’t share their faith, we are too busy shining our lights in other legitimate areas of life. Our efforts are more geared towards issues of racism, greed, hatred, anger, violence, abortion, drug abuse, etc…. Sure, there are these people and issues in our world and yes, we should be concerned about these issues and the people struggling in those areas, but what do people need? The news of the Gospel. Ray explains it like this, which is a great illustration “Faithfulness in marriage and living a sober lifestyle aren’t the chief goal of the Gospel. They are the fruit of it. The goal is to see people saved from the just wrath of a holy God by being clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. If we lose sight of this goal, we reduce the church to a social club of well-meaning do-gooders. And the world is full of them – from skilled marriage and drug counselors to the many worthy secular service organizations. They all strive to make lives happier, and they often achieve that goal.” However, to be effective as Christians we must know our goal – sharing the Gospel.
  
  In this book, the first part of the book covers addressing our fears of sharing our faith and helpful suggestions from Ray’s experience in sharing his faith to various types of people he has come across over the years. The rest of the books covers 20 difficult questions you may come across as you talk to people and Ray cover’s these in great detail. Each chapter offers study questions for personal or group discussion.
  
  This is truly a helpful book that all Christians could benefit from reading. This is one I am saving for my children to read in their high school years.
