Have you ever wondered if you are the only Christian in your office? Have you ever heard that Christianity is only for those who are weak and need a crutch through life? Or are you wondering how to respond to some difficult questions that people might have about Christianity? If so, here is a good book for you to read. Marcus Nodder has drawn together the testimonies of people from all areas of city life and put together City Lives. This book is a great way of dealing with difficult apologetics questions, whilst listening to someone’s story along the way. Unlike other apologetics books, it is not full of facts and statistics, but is instead packed with the impact that the message of Christianity has had on 14 different people's lives. You’ll read of sports players, medical professionals, legal workers and a contestant from the Bake Off. If you’re looking to be encouraged in your faith or searching for answers to difficult questions, or even if you want to have an easy giveaway book, City Lives would be a good start on all fronts.
