    About this audiobook

    What does the Bible teach about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? What do angels, Satan and demons have to do with reality? What place should the Bible or church have in my life? Perhaps you think you know what others are telling you to believe, but deep down inside you do wonder, “What is really important to my own faith?” If so, you need to know….a Christian's faith must be grounded in truth!

      Clearly written in such a way as to walk with people seeking truth. For those feeling it is one sided or not feeling that it is enough, I wonder if they have listened to this book and/or are unaware of Paul Little’s other books. If you are seeking to understand what Christians believe, or seeking to ground your faith even more you will not be disappointed by the series.

      I was originally attracted to this title because it just felt wrong, disingenuous and backwards. Shouldn't we already know why we believe before espousing a belief? Must we be instructed about why and how to believe? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Why must faith be forced in this way? The title unwittingly reinforces a feeling that many skeptics hold; that our adopted faith is an accident of geography. We inherit our deepest beliefs and values from our families and our culture, and works like this just help to reinforce and fill in the missing pieces. The arguments presented herein are predictably one-sided and absent of the opposing arguments asked by alternative belief systems. It's topics span the usual arguments about the authenticity of the Bible, God's involvement in and responsibility for pain and suffering, the threats from modern science, the authenticity of miracles, archeological evidence of scripture and a few others. It is a good summary of the Christian stance on most of these issues, although one gets the impression that mainstream Christianity has moved beyond many of the simplistic answers presented here and that this is a Sunday School variety of apologetics.

      "Know Why You Believe" is a simple book that attempts to answer the questions of apologetics. The problem with this book is that it is too narrow-minded. It does not allow for possibilities of evolution or differences in theology. Not extremely helpful for anyone seriously considering apologetics.

      If you're a Christian and, like most Christians, are confused and/or ignorant about what you believe; haven't a clue, really, as to what (or what you should) believe; believe, that is, as it pertains specifically to Sola Scriptura, then, never fear, Pilgrim, for Paul E. Little's Christian classic, Know What You Believe, is here! Here to help you and enlighten you one easy-to-read page at a time. Hallelujah!While reading Know What You Believe, you'll learn the Absolute Truth and nothing but the Absolute Truth (and how to tell the Absolute Truth from an Absolute Lie) as it pertains to Kingdom Come, and, in so doing, you'll swiftly leave your fleshly, secular, overly-intellectual life behind. Moreover, after reading Know What You Believe, the studious, observant Christian should be able to finally answer the following important (and essential) questions concerning the Faith, namely:Q: Did Jesus die on the cross for your sins?A: Of course He did, Stupid! And after reading this book by Paul E. Little, Know What You Believe, you need not doubt the historical event corroborated by that damn blasphemous, unbelieving Jew, Josephus, ever again!Q: Is Jesus the Son of God? A: You're goddamn right He's the Son of God! And don't you ever go doubtin' that fact again!Q: Did Jesus rise from the dead three days after He was crucified? - on Easter Sunday?A: Duh! Do bunny rabbits multiply fast? Faster than, say, autistic savants? Hell yes they do!Q: Was the Virgin Mary a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus? That is, did Joseph not once, prior to Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, hot and bothered as he must've been as a teen at his sexual peak, during the time preceding her Immaculate Conception, insert what must've been his throbbing, pent-up penis into her Holy, unpunctured Vagina?A: In lieu of possibly spoiling the answer, let me ask you something else, Christian: Do rivers flow downstream?Q: Do the righteous (those who claim Jesus Christ as their Saviour) go to Heaven, while the unrighteous (those who deny Jesus Christ as their Saviour) go to Hell?A: Does the sun set in the West, you blasphemous ignoramus? Do horses neigh? Do pigs oink? Does sulphur and brimstone stink to high heaven?Lots of other quality questions get answered unequivocally too, in Paul E. Little's, Know What You Believe, like, "Why Haphazard Evil and Meaningless Human Suffering and Surreptitious Sickness and Disease and Death are really good for you - God's Honest, Biblical Truth!"After reading this book, the Christian will finally know what they believe (finally, thank God!) and no longer will they just have to pretend that they know what they believe and, in pretending they know what they believe, piss their irreprobate, Hellbound neighbors, friends, co-workers, family, acquaintances, and passersby not interested in having the unsolicited Gospel Message shoved down their unrepentant throats once again, off.
