About this book

This book does not try to sound clever, or win an argument. It does aim to introduce people to Jesus and the answers he gives to the hard questions we ask.

Many Christian young adults and teenagers have hard questions about their faith. Many non-Christians do, too. Michael and Carl take nine of the hardest, such as "Doesn't Jesus ruin your fun?" "Why is there so much suffering?" and "What does Jesus really think about being gay?" These aren't questions with easy answers; but, as they show, they are questions that have good answers. Written for people of all backgrounds and beliefs, it's a book that is short but not simplistic, and clear but not condescending.

Endorsements

This book brilliantly articulates the concerns we have, and distils complex answers into easily digestible chapters.

Nicholas T McDonald Blogger at Scribblepreach.com and Youth Pastor at Carlisle Congregational Church, Massachusetts

I love this book! It tackles the big questions and shows how ultimately only Jesus makes sense of things.

Jonty Allcock Pastor of Globe Church, London; author of Lost, Hero and More of Jesus

A really easy read that answers challenging questions in a loving but honest way. I would definitely recommend this to you if you have questions about Jesus, and what it means to follow him.

Lottie Jones Youth Pastor at St George’s Leeds, England

Customer Reviews

4.00 stars Good

 

A helpful book to give to students at university.

5.00 stars Great for use in youth groups!

 

We used 'Tricky' to prepare a short series focussed especially on equipping our young people with succinct, biblically faithful and engaging answers to some of the common questions their friends ask them. Our youth leaders benefitted from the book as a starting point for preparing sessions and our young people especially were helped by the chapter on suffering as they had been asking lots of questions about this during the previous term. We'd wholeheartedly recommend it as a resource to give away to young people.

5.00 stars Very helpful

 

(Review written for 'Tricky (ebook)')

Biblical, really clear and manageable chapters on a wide range of topics. We're using it in our Christian Union at school and find the material very helpful. Good balance of personal anecdotes and the facts. Highly recommended.
