Intro Books

These books should be the first place you look as you try to understand whether Christianity might be true or not. They give you a good general overview of how experts look at the question: Is there any reason to believe in Christianity? All of these books are good for both individual reading or discussion in a small group.

Once you have read these, you will be ready for the intermediate books.

The Case for Christ - by Lee Strobel

If you’re beginning your journey of looking for truth, this is a good place to start. Can we trust what the Bible says about Jesus? Did he really rise from the dead? Or, was he just crazy? This book has sold over 5 million copies and was made into a movie. It’s definitely worth your time.

The Case for Faith - by Lee Strobel

If you need answers to some of the most difficult objections to Christianity, this is a good place to start. Strobel interviews experts in each of the subjects this book covers, and yet it reads like a story. There is a reason Strobel’s books are so popular with people trying to understand what Christianity is all about.

Tactics - by Greg Koukl

There are, however, good ways to have open conversations with people without feeling awkward or appearing like you’re trying to argue with them. This book teaches you how.
