A Christian's entire life should proclaim and defend the reality of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This book demonstrates that the Christian faith is rationally sufficient (head), emotionally and morally satisfying (heart) and that the seed of the gospel generates practical acts of loving service in the world (hands). The best defence of the Christian faith is one that engages every area of life and every component of our human nature. Everything is transformed by the truth and power of Jesus, and this book helps Christians see how their renewed minds, cleansed hearts and sanctified hands are all necessary in the defence of their faith. One of the special features of this book is that it illustrates its principles by the life, terminal cancer and death of a young Christian husband and father. Andrew Rozalowsky was a very intelligent young man who was training to be a New Testament scholar. He was married to a wonderful woman and they had two beautiful young sons. As his cancer took its toll, Andrew demonstrated the power and persuasiveness of a hope that is in Christ alone. Andrew's story is woven throughout the arguments of this book, serving as a practical illustration that the truth and power of the gospel is enough for both life and death.
