Continuing my Christian Book & Bible reviews series I thought I would review a book by R.C. Sproul. It’s actually one of many books written by the same author that I had recently received as a gift. Each book has a different topic that is discussed. The first book I am reviewing in this post is titled “Can I Trust the Bible.”
The book itself is small, only a few inches and consisting of just 61 pages. So I was expecting a book that just dived straight to the point and start presenting the arguments and evidence plus the explanation of it. However, that was not what I got. It seemed like the author was just trying to fill up pages, making the book as big as he could. The worst part is you never really answered the question which is in the title, “Can I Trust the Bible?”
If anything, the book was more of just a history of how the Bible was constructed. And was written more for people who apparently already trust the Bible. Which is disappointing because I was kind of hoping for something that I could give to an unbeliever that would give them a reason to believe the Bible.
To me it doesn’t make any sense to have a book that asks a question and doesn’t actually answer the question being asked. It also was a pretty boring read and it didn’t really draw me in or have me engaged where I want to go oh let me go look this or that up.
One thing that came as a surprise to me was how little scripture was even mentioned the 61 pages. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just kind of a surprise when you have a book on the Bible
As for the quality of the book it’s pretty good for a paperback book, holding up well good stitching. It had no issues no major typos and the book held together very well when I was rolling over the pages.
I can’t really recommend this one however, I’m hoping maybe one of the other books by the author are going to be a little better
