First off, because I'm a girl who always comments on the covers of the books because that's what draws me to the books usually, I like this cover. There's no picture, but I think that's why I like it. It's different. It clearly states what the book is about without me flipping it to the back to read a synopsis, although there is one found on the back cover.
The book itself is one that I highly recommend. Many times we all ask these tough questions, but not usually out in the open It seems like the churches deal with the basics of Christianity, which is good and necessary, but there are other questions addressed in Scripture. You have to dig for the answers and know the character of God to form your opinion on certain topics, but many don't know how to study scripture for themselves. That leads to the fact that many of these questions are seen as unanswerable to many. I like that Sam Storms takes the hard questions, leads you to scripture to back his opinions, shows you other points of view, and then leaves you to form your own opinion. I find it helpful that he states his own opinion in the book, too. It was very biblical and after doing my own studies, I tended to have the same opinions as him.
I think this is a book that would be great for a small group study in church. It would give a chance for people to ask those other questions they are curious about but afraid to ask. This is a book that should be on all bookshelves!
