Product Description
A journey into Christian apologetics: Does God exist? Is the Bible true? Is Jesus God? Is Christianity unique? Logic, science, history and scholarship become bridges as doubt is transformed into confidence. Scrutinize the evidence that Christian faith rests upon truth and fact, not legend and myth. Follow the personal odyssey of a man of science as he journeys from skepticism to belief as a man of faith. Logic, science, and history compel the verdict that Christian faith rests upon truth and fact, not legend and myth.

Prepared to Answer. is a no-holds-barred examination of five crucial questions: Does God exist?
Can we trust the Bible?
Is Jesus of Nazareth really God?
Is the Bible truly inspired?
How do other religions compare?

For answers the author turns to modern-day science, history, and archeology and solid scholarship. Each question is thoroughly explored in its own section of the book. Learn about the missing and faulty evidence for evolution and how modern day discoveries show the signature of a Creator-God. Read about the extensive documentary and historical evidence for the realibility of the Biblical books and their accounts. Study the evidences for Jesus' deity in His miracles, fulfilled prophecies and above all His resurrection. Keen observations, undisputed facts, and persuasive evidence are set forth in a long series of exhibits scattered throughout the volume. The thoughtful reader will find this book virtually unique among books that present Christian evidences.

It is comprehensive. Enjoy its complete overview of evidence, unlimited to one or two special interests.
It is up-to-date. Explore the impact of recent discoveries upon critical concerns such as the uniqueness of the earth, the failing RNA-world hypothesis, the age of mankind as determined by genetic analysis, the Gnostic library at Nag Hammadi, the so-called gospels of Judas and Thomas, and numerous other vital questions.
It is hard-hitting. Examine the stark contrasts between Christian belief and world religions. Special emphasis is given to Islam, demonstrating that this religion can be traced to its Jewish and Christian roots, devoid of a foundation in truth and historical fact.

About the Author
Rob VandeWeghe is a skeptic turned Christian by studying the evidence for Christianity. He holds a masters degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands. He also studied business economics at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. With 15 years in information technology, he helped grow his company from a local concern that employed 300 to offices in 30 countries and more than 20,000 employees. He handled numerous multinational projects and businesses in Europe, North and South America and Australia until he retired as vice-president for the North American Consulting Division in 1999. Since that time he has painstakingly researched and vigorously studied the evidences for the Christian faith. As a direct result he committed his life to Christ. The compelling drive to share these evidences with others led him to found Windmill Ministries. This ministry equips and encourages Christians by building and reinforcing the foundations on which Christian beliefs rest.

What others say about the book (from Amazon's website)

Mr. Vandeweghe (there's a tongue twister!) has taken an innovative approach to evidences. He has provided a systematic examination of evidences that builds from one question to the next in a very logical progression. I am reminded of Stroebel's Case for Christ, in that Mr. V started his journey as a skeptic, only undertaking the study in order to examine his wife's new found beliefs, and wound up a believer. I suspect that the book mirrors the systematic progression of the road he traveled to arrive at faith himself. The amount of research Mr. V poured into this book is prodigious and is evident not only from the extensive Bibliography but from the material itself. It is clearly written, reflects current events in the field, and should be a welcome addition to the novice just beginning to grapple with evidences as well as the studied veteran.

As a child you easily believe in Santa, God and the tooth fairy. Growing older you need more solid answers. This book reflects Rob's journey to discover the truth: a solid study of current evidences as well as his own excellent logical reasoning. If you look for answers, this book will surprise you, very thorough and at the same time very readable. It changed my life.

It is rare that I write a review but have chosen to do so for "Prepared to Answer" because of the comprehensive coverage of the book. This book could be used as the textbook of choice in a university "apologetics" curriculum. The quoting of source material is impressive from a multitude of distinguished scientists such as Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Michael Denton, Hugh Ross, Guillermo Gonzales, Jay Richards, T. N. Tahmisian (to name a few). Most significant to me, the book researches many of the topics of concern
that I needed to have answered on "my journey back to faith". Whether you are a student or novice in the study of apologetics, you will find this a valuable addition to your library.
