Buckled
Why God Is Real and Jesus Is Him
Back Cover Summary
Why do you believe in God?
You believe because that’s the way you were raised. Someone taught you to believe. You believe because you were called by God. God is real. Jesus is the way. It’s what you’ve always believed. Isn’t it obvious?
No, not to some. When young people go off on their own, friends, professors, and colleagues will want reasons. Evidence. Some will take delight in cutting your faith to ribbons. You’ll be challenged to defend your belief or branded a fraud. To defend your faith, you’ll need the truth.
This little book can be read alone as a devotional or in a group as a Bible study. It contains sixteen evidence-filled study units on why you should believe in a god. After that, which god? The next six units are about religious systems and why monotheism is correct. The last eight units are on monotheisms and why Christianity follows the only true God. The objective truth.
Buckle on the belt of truth! Armor yourself to stride forth into the waiting battlefield. Read Buckled today!

TRIVIA
More than you wanted to know.

The kids in Tripp's Sunday School class at Fayette Baptist Church instigated this book, whether they knew it or not.

Wearing actual steel armor should come back in style. We'd all be a lot more polite if we had a sword in a scabbard on our belt. Just saying.
-
This book is great for anyone but is aimed squarely at teens getting ready to launch out on their own. College. Career. Whatever. If you're leaving home for the first time, you will be under attack. True story. Don't go unprepared.

When Tripp started this book, there didn't seem to be anything quite like it. In between starting and finishing, Lee Strobel came out with Is God Real? Tripp recommends anything by Lee and promises he wasn't trying to copy him.
