Wow,  this book really challenges me.

How?

It makes me think outside my own little box on who is a seeker.  I love how it doesn’t put us in the religious box that once we’re in something that’s it, they’re lost!  It helps us figure out how to find people who really are looking for more.  How to be more accepting of others without compromising my beliefs.

After reading several apologetic books “Faith to Faith does something most others do not; it puts basic differences down in easy and understandable language.  For people who like to read books that feel like they are having conversations with a friend, this book is for you.

Mr. Scott delivers a modern and interesting presentation of religions. I find now, especially in the wake of 9-11, Mr. Scott provides delicate but vital information for our times.

I also like that Faith to Faith touches on Humanism which most of us noticed this past year with it’s campaigns around Christmas time.  I have heard of it, but I can’t honestly I knew enough or read much on it.   There was a lot of great information on how to deal with it and what some major differences are.

An other thing I really appreciated it in this book was that Dan uses humor to give life to this book — that he isn’t stuffy! lol I know that is an odd comment, but apologetics can be so frustrating and is such a serious topic for most, that it’s nice to see some humor that I can relate to.

Over all, the information in this book gave me a deeper understanding as my own beliefs, and respect for others.

I think he sums it up nicely when he says:

How can I tell a Muslim that Jesus died on a cross if I refuse to listen to him tell me that Muhammad introduced Moses to a quarter of the globe?

Can I expect a Buddhist to hear me say that Jesus saves if I refuce to acknowledge that the Buddha was a very great teacher?

Can I witness to a Native American without a sense of profound repentance for the bloodshed and for the fictitious history that has been perpetrated against Native peoples by professing Christians?

Listening wins the right to speak.  Serving wins the right to relate.  Loving wins the opportunity to share.  This is the heart of things:  The gospel in word and action is simply sharing Jesus with the worlds people.
