This is exactly my assessment of the book, which I really enjoyed reading. I think that what it does, and what it is for, it does quite well. It is a very practical, hands-on apologetics book that addresses real questions that people ask all the time. Of course, the book is meant to speak for a great deal more than confessional Presbyterianism. Hence the complete lack of confessional underpinnings. Read it for the arguments against unbelief, which are actually quite masterful.
