I just finished this 515 page book (in the Dutch translation). Like all books, it has strong and weaker points. It will certainly help you if you are looking for arguments against an atheistic look on creation, for instance.
Not being an atheist myself, I don't know how convincing the arguments are from that point of view, but as a Christian, I thought there were some pretty good ones there.

I'm less convinced by the arguments for Biblical inerrancy.

But most of all I believe that the proof of Christianity is in the fact that one can actually have a relationship with the risen Lord. It is nice to read how that is not merely an irrational jump of faith though.

Hi Hans, I didn't read the book so I am not sure what arguments were used, but most atheist's have a sense of right and wrong. That sense of right and wrong is where I like to begin. "Is murder wrong?" How do you know its wrong? Who told you it was wrong?
You get the idea.

Yes, these are among them.

The right/wrong approach is also the foundation of C.S. Lewis' approach in Mere Christianity.

I have seen a few days ago on a german forum "Politics & Theology" a joke,
Who are the real missionairies?
The atheists do talk about God.
