A short book – written in a first person, direct, conversational style – arguing the case for the claims of Christianity, including personal testimony. An argument for the existence and nature of God from our scientific knowledge of the universe. A look at the historical evidence for the life of Jesus, his death and resurrection. A presentation of the nature and reliability of the Bible.Book Review:"Nobody in their right mind wants to have blind faith in something or somebody without any evidence. In this book the author shows how a personal faith in God can be perfectly reasonable and provides strong arguments and good evidence to back it up."----Dr Denis Alexander, St. Edmund's College, Cambridge

The story of ambush had shaken them. 'They are going to force you out. But you won't make it to Xichang.' 'They will shoot you. . . on the mountain pass.' She had been in the mountains of South-West China just a few months when Communist advances meant she must leave. But Joan had not wasted her time. . .

Steve had suffered under the brutal regime of his Japanese guards. He and his classmates at Chefoo school in China - for the most part the children of missionaries - had been interned in 1942. Resentment of the Japanese was a way of life. Could he possibly pray for them? Painfully, reluctantly, he found that he could, and his prayers sank deep. At the end of the war the China Inland Mission was seeking young men willing to go to Japan . Steve trained, packed and went. Thus began Steve's lifelong love of Japan. Over the years he would tussle with a culture where courtesy wins over truth; where suicide is an honourable choice; where to be foreign is to be forever alien. Time after time he would encounter miracles of healing, provision, and protection as God looked after him, his wife Evelyn and their growing family. In a resistant culture he would see many come to Christ. This is the story of how a boy's grudging prayers were remarkably answered.
