Book Description

John Blanchard has produced yet another winner. This time he engages with the so-called "new atheism" promoted by Richard Dawkins in his books The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth. He concisely but clearly outlines Dawkin's views and arguments, and deftly demonstrates how shallow and illogical they often are, then provides God-centered alternatives that are altogether superior. Blanchard tackles such subjects as the importance but limitations of science, the origin and significance of morality, and Dawkin's abysmal ignorance of theology and the Bible. He then goes on to explain the nature of true faith before ending with a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

John Blanchard has been a steadying influence in the lives of thousands of people over the years through his preaching and writing. Once again he demonstrates that no arguments or currently fashionable philosophies can withstand the truth of scripture. Blanchard's books should be purchased in bulk and given away freely to all who are enquiring about the existence of God and the claims of Christianity.
--Frank Retief, Presiding Bishop of the Church of England in South Africa

Richard Dawkins has given voice to an underlying need of popular culture--to release itself from any objective criteria to define our existence and behavior. John Blanchard deals respectfully yet firmly with the arguments, exposing their flaws, and taking us back to the God who does not need a leap in the dark to be known, just a proper response to the evidence he has graciously given us of himself, supremely in Christ.
--Charles Price, Pastor, The Peoples Church, Toronto, Canada
