Summary: Some Good Content, But Needs Some Grace
Comment: I'm a 28 year-old Christian woman, and I've only been saved for about two years. In my course of searching for "The Truth" I found a fire in my heart for Christian Apologetics. This book is a pretty good apologetics resource for the Christian trying to reach certain persons, but its' definately not for the Non-Christian. To a Non, it would seem very ungracious and condemning.
I believe that Ryan specifically wrote this for the young Christian in today's America. If that was his target audience (which it appears to be) it's a good resource, but he should have added a little more grace into it, I believe. He hit on "love" a bit, but forgot to mention that we're all dreadful, horrible creatures by nature (sinners) and we're all in need of a savior. None of us are any more righteous than the next before we were saved, and the morally lost of our society need to understand the grace that only Jesus Christ can give before they believe they are worthy of this forgiveness. If this "grace" appears abrasive, unreachable, and unworthy many will turn away.
I believe that this book will function well for a young Christian seeking to bring a wandering Christian friend (or a luke-warm one) back into a holy life. But I would not recommend it in it's entirety as a tool for trying to save a deeply lost young person.

Summary: The Truth
Comment: This book is super great. I loved it. I am a new Christian and I think this book really reaches out to the "younger audience". It's sad to see how tolerant the world and especially Cristians are with all the wrongs of the world. Ryan has written this book out of LOVE for people. I heard him on the radio talking about his book and at one point he started crying, I cried along with him. He asks the tuff questions. Like why are we here on earth as Christians? To just stand by and watch everyone live in sin as we have the knowledge of how to be saved? That dosen't sound very Christian to me. We have a purpose here on earth with what little time we have. And it's to spread the wonderful Word of Jesus Christ. Not to just sit back and be saved. Ryan Dobson and Jefferson Scott talk about questions like this and give answers to what you and I can do "out of LOVE" to help the world. Great book!! May God Bless you all.

Summary: The Special Olympics of Ethics
Comment: I perused this book in a local store yesterday, and could not believe how dreadful it is. Mr. Dobson thinks if he repeats his dull thesis (moral relativism = bad) ten times per page that the reader will be hypnotized into swallowing it without question. Forging a balanced, logical argument is not Dobson's strong point. The kindergarten examples in this text are revolting to anyone with a higher dendrite density than Mr. Forrest Gump.
It's quite clear that Mr. Dobson has never studied real philosophy, or perhaps he daydreamed about motorcycles, surfing, and Jesus during the lectures. Anyone who cares to thoughtfully study ethics should read the classic works of Aristotle and Plato. These texts are challenging and have to be read several times, but the intellectual rewards are much worth the effort.
