1. Few people accept anything on faith anymore. Doubt, skepticism, and even hostility towards God and Christianity have become the norm in much of today's society. Many people make a choice that is far more disturbing than simply rejection God; they choose to ignore him. It is truly amazing to see how much people invest into their education, career, family. and friends, but turn a blind eye to spiritual issues. Why is this so? Why do people criticize Christianity without researching the facts, trade in two thousand years of theological study for their won hastily formed opinions, or reject spiritual issues altogether? Perhaps it, is out of convenience, fear, or simply that spiritual issues are "out of sight, out of mind." Faith and Facts was written to combat the rampant ignorance about spiritual issues, and help people understand how and why having a relationship with God is the single most important decision in their lives. Whether someone is resistant to Christianity, seeking more information, struggling with doubt, or secure in their faith but looking for answers to common question, they can find many of the facts behind their faith.
2. Faith and Facts is certainly not comprehensive; it is a summary of critical information everyone should know about Christianity. It is brief enough to read in a single sitting, but contains enough information and study materials to lead a Sunday school class or Bible study for several weeks. It is written for a general audience, but draws on established and recent research in order to be accurate. It should answer many question for some, and provide a starting place for others to do more research on their own. It is intended to open up the scriptures for understanding, not replace any of them. Finally, the single purpose of this book is lead people to closer relationship with God, because without knowing your Creator, your life will have no purpose here on Earth or in Eternity.
