Product Description
In this entertaining and enlightening new book, Pastor Ray Comfort, author of the million-selling The Atheist Test, talks to the atheists and reveals not just the weakness of their arguments but the solid foundation upon which the Christian stands. Few books take the time to address the atheist's conscience. This book not only gives empirical evidence for the existence of God, it shows atheists that they desperately need His forgiveness. Using a lively question-and-answer format, featuring actual questions from atheists sent to Pastor Comfort's blog at Atheist Central, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, But You Can't Make Him Think shows that God's existence can be proven, and that anyone can do it.

 Perfect Proofs Without Extra Sauce February 19, 2009

Dr. Comfort's book is amazing. It may be the best primer for defeating an atheist I've ever read. I'm particularly fond of how he proves the existence of God by pointing out the perfection of the banana and the fact that the atmosphere is 78.09% nitrogen and 20.95% oxygen--"the exact mixture that his [Adam's] lungs and blood needed to survive."
Take that atheists!
My only disappointment with the proofs provided in this book is that my favorite, Eve, isn't listed among them. Evolution could have made her look like anything at all--like Rush Limbaugh, a big hairy wookie, or a naked mole rat for example. There's no way Adam would have tapped that. Instead, God chose to fashion one of Adam's ribs into something soft, curvy, beautiful, and desirable (Yes, he did make that little sailor in the boat impossible to find, but that's only because you're not supposed to touch it).
God did that. He made women attractive to men, so we'd want to procreate with them rather than watermelons or sheep or something else. And even more importantly, he knew when to stop. No barbeque on these ribs, because God doesn't want us to be always tasting them.

I'm giving this book five stars. No, not for content, accuracy, or persuasive value but for the pure comedy therein. I genuinely think people should read this book, if only to realize what an outright moron Ray Comfort is. I am amazed that at the dawn of the 21st Century, people like this still walk the earth with a straight face. After being put to shame countless times, Ray Comfort just keeps coming back with... uhh... the same stuff... again and again. And again.... This man is living his own version of "50 First Dates." It's as if every morning, he comes up with a new flash of brilliance - except that he fails to realize that it is the same idea that he got blown out of the water the day before. And the day before that. And so on. Highly recommended for a good laugh and some toilet paper.
One of the best books I've read! February 20, 2009

Ray is the master of satire. While reading this fine book I could just picture him sitting around, getting wasted, and dreaming up all of these hilarious proofs. He is a genius!
What's that? He believes this drivel?
Nevermind.
Enjoyable read that looks at dialogue between atheists and a Christian February 20, 2010

Ray Comfort has provided a good look into the debates between agnostics and Christians in his book. The book is based on his blog, where he debates self-proclaimed "atheists" (agnostics)regarding a various Christian topics.
Ray Comfort does not rely on evidence-heavy apologetics. Instead, Ray writes from a biblical base and uses common sense stemming from a Christian worldview in his writing. He challenges people to think in his writing, and he deftly takes on some difficult questions in this book. I will admit that my desired style of apologetics is more evidence based, and a few of his articles left me saying "I would have added x or y evidence" to go along with Ray's logic. But, Ray focuses on God to open the hearts and minds of the lost.
The format of the book consists of a selection of questions people have submitted on Ray's website. The majority come from agnostics that doubt the existence of God, and Ray posts what his answers to these questions are. Topics deal with Creation versus evolution, man's sinful nature (human depravity), Jesus, Scripture and comparative religion.
This text is not a compendium of evidence or even a complete way of answering the questions posed by agnostics. It is one Christian's way of answering in layman's terms.
Ray's style of writing is both engaging and entertaining. He approaches his subject of discussion with seriousness, but also with love. He does not ridicule people, although he does have a little wit regard certain arguments.
The main thrust of the book is that the same level of skepticism must be put on both arguments (the world's arguments versus arguments based on the Bible). Ray also urges people to consult Scripture and to look to God for answers, as He is the only One with them.
Awesome! Take that, Atheists! February 27, 2009

I am completely impressed how Ray is able to prove that God exists even though God continues to behave exactly the same as if he wasn't there at all! There's no way I could not believe! I can feel God's love, so it must be true.
Ray has a way of explaining things so that a first grader can understand them, and with the added benefit that his writing will help them continue to stay at the same developmental level so that doubt will not enter in!
And speaking of the banana, I've noticed that many other phenomena show the hallmarks of God's wonderful plans for humanity. For example, God's wonderful gift of sleep works exactly the way you would expect if God wanted us to spend part of our lives unconscious so that we could get immolated if our houses catch fire at night!
And don't even get me started on cows! They are so obviously designed to be consumed by humans with their magnificent taste that heart disease must be part of God's glorious desires for his people!
Amen, Brother Comfort! Let's tell the Atheists how it is!
