God Conversations: 20 Discussions for Students on Whether God is Real and What He's Like, by Daniel McCoy & Zach Breitenbach
A GUIDE TO EXPLORING TOUGH QUESTIONS TOGETHER
“This book will be a treasure for teens, college students, and their spiritual leaders.”
— JOHN S. DICKERSON, Lead Pastor, Connection Pointe Christian Church, Author of Jesus Skeptic, nationally-awarded journalist
Do you know someone who is wrestling with hard questions about God? Would you like to help but aren’t sure where to start? Many today are confused about life’s biggest questions—about meaning, truth, suffering, and faith. God Conversations is an interactive guide that helps you walk alongside them. Through twenty thoughtful discussions about God’s existence, nature, and character, this book offers brief but impactful answers you can explore together, with opportunities to dig deeper into each question.
Each conversation tackles a key question that honest seekers ask, such as:
- Does science put God out of a job?
- How can God be three—and yet one?
- Why would a loving God allow us to suffer?
- What gives God the right to judge us?
- Why believe in God when he feels silent?
Whether you’re guiding a friend, mentoring a student, or exploring questions of faith yourself, this book will help you engage in some of the most meaningful conversations you’ll ever have.
