Choosing My Religion

R. C. Sproul, Jr.. Baker Books, $8.99 (128pp) ISBN 978-0-8010-5575-1

Are there many paths to God or only one? Targeted to teenagers, this short book seeks to answer that very question. Well-known theologian Sproul runs a balancing act between facts, personal stories, quotations from the Bible and philosophy to answer big questions. Does Truth Matter? What is God like? ""The subject of this book,"" writes Sproul, ""is based on the premise that there is, among all the possible avenues of relative truth, a path of uniquely, absolutely true truth. If there was no such path, we live in a relative universe, and all is utter nonsense."" The book uses comments from students as the springboard for each topic. Readers can expect to find convincing argument combined with attractive design and very accessible language. (Mar.)
