Who doesn't have questions about God? But where in the world can you go to get answers?

Eric Metaxas has been there, so he gets it. Which iswhy he's written this shockingly down-to-earth book on the big questions everyone asks (but not always out loud).

Totally conversational and sometimes flat-out hilarious, this book asks-
* How can a good God create a world that has evil and suffering?
* Is God anti-sex?
* Doesn't science make God obsolete?
* What's the real story on miracles?
* If God is everywhere, why go to church?
* Don't we already have God within us?
* Isn't God too busy running the universe to care about the details of my day?

These questions (and many more) get no-nonsense answers that don't hide behind dull theological language. So get the lowdown (and more than a few laughs) on what are probably the most important questions anyone has.

Reviews for Everything you Always Wanted to Know About God (But Were Afraid to Ask): But Were Afraid to Ask

The difficulty is not to gush. --TIM KELLER, founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times best-selling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal God For his stylish and entertaining handling of this particular subject, Metaxas deserves a prize. --DICK CAVETT, Emmy Award-winning television personality I've always wished I could answer important and difficult questions about God with as much heart, humor, intelligence, and truth as Eric Metaxas does in this book. Now I can--by giving friends and family a copy of Eric's excellent book, which is itself an answer to the question 'Is God powerful enough to take a witty, Yale-educated, orthodox Christian logician and use him to make you laugh while simultaneously answering the most difficult questions and inspiring you to genuine faith in God?' The answer is yes! --KIRK CAMERON, television and film actor and producer Like having a Starbucks with a very funny New York intellectual who happens to be a nonatheist. Oh! That would be Eric Metaxas! --VICTORIA JACKSON, comedian, actress, and former cast member of Saturday Night Live Eric Metaxas beautifully opens conversations that many people avoid. The questions that he presents are honest and easily relatable for anyone. No matter what your current knowledge of God is, I highly recommend this book. It will make you laugh, challenge you to think, and provoke you to understand truth in a deeper way. Theology has never been so much fun! --KRIS VALLOTTON, senior associate leader, Bethel Church, Redding, CA; cofounder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry; author of The Supernatural Ways of Royalty and Spirit Wars How anyone writes a book on God that reads like a can't-put-it-down thriller is a miracle itself. --JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO, host of Justice with Judge Jeanine We are in the beginnings of a sudden shift, especially among millennials, to an interest in spiritual things. I like the fact that Eric writes simply but intelligently. Congratulations on staying relevant and caring enough about people to answer their questions. --CARTER C. CONLON, senior pastor, Times Square Church, New York City Eric Metaxas has written a book about God based on questions that people are actually asking. His answers are pithy, practical, often funny (who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?), and true. This is a splendidly unconventional introduction to the Christian faith. --JOHN WILSON, editor of Books & Culture Finally, a book of apologetics you can give your friends without cringing! --LAUREN WINNER, author of Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath Every question in this book is one I have asked, have heard asked, or want to ask! And the answers are so good humored and easy to read that you almost forget how profound they are. --ANN B. DAVIS, Alice of The Brady Bunch
