You Asked
Your Questions. God's Answers.
William Edgar
Questions on issues
Straightforward, biblical answers
RM 12 - 16
It can be difficult to ask questions, far less answer them. Perhaps you've felt that sometimes the questions you really want to ask just can't be answered. They're too difficult; too embarrassing; and perhaps you shouldn't be asking them anyway. William Edgar takes a selection of twenty-four questions just like that - questions that are asked by young adults just like you - and gives a biblical, common sense, unpatronising answer to each. Edgar tackles issues such as 'Where is God?' 'Can we trust the Bible?' 'What about love and sex?' 'Does God love gay people?' 'When will the world end?' 'Are there vampires?' 'Can I have real friends?'
William Edgar
William Edgar is Professor of Apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and an accomplished jazz pianist. He is married to Barbara and they have two children, William and Deborah.

"Dr Edgar is a reliable and stimulating guide. I know at least one teenager who will be enjoying this. My daughter!"
David Robertson
Well–known pastor and apologist
Apologetics for Dummies? Absolutely not: apologetics for thoughtful, inquiring young teens! I wish I had known someone like Bill Edgar when I was 13 or 14. I wouldn't have had to start with other people's questions, including the Church's -- but with my own. The modern pastor will find endless hints here on great ways to connect with youth of all ages. Bill talks to young people without a hint of talking down to them.

Teens struggle with doubts, anxiety, and peer pressure regularly. You Asked provides a thought-provoking launching point from which teens can wrestle with these unique dilemmas. Each chapter provides insight and guidance into specific questions and concerns, which can be explored discretely or as part of the larger narrative. Combined with followup discussion, this book can go a long way to helping mitigate the philosophical and ethical minefield known as adolescence.

Reformed University Fellowship Campus Minister, New York City, New York
Bill Edgar is a listening and deeply respectful Christian whose presence brings others (and especially young people) immediately into the circle of his life-long friends. I suspect that You Asked will add to that circle every teenager who reads it!
