I think perhaps the greatest commendation I could give this book is that as I was reading I just kept thinking of the amount of men I know who would benefit from it. Take up and read!

Thinking men are seeking truth, and want to know what authentic Christianity really is. Joe Barnard has set out to help, by guiding your steps to find honest answers in the original Scriptures, the foundation of the orthodox faith. Let him lead you there, where the real Jesus Christ may be encountered, and his ultimate truth revealed.

William J. U. Philip

Minister, The Tron Church, Glasgow

In this refreshing, well researched, mind-stretching study, Joe Barnard challenges men to ask the bigger questions of life, have the courage to analyse their own hearts, and embark on a life shaping journey, via Plato’s cave, to Jesus Christ. Highly recommended.

… this book will dare you to wrestle with ancient wisdom; to step out on the road of faith and holiness; and to come have a closer look at the person of Jesus Christ.

Steve Osmond

Speaker and writer, Solas Centre for Public Christianity, UK

... an excellent introduction to the gospel and a real challenge to men. It is an unusually helpful evangelistic book – and a lovely refresher for those who are already Christians.

David Robertson

Minister, Scots Kirk, Newcastle, Australia

... a more incisive view of our lethargic unease, offering the good news of Jesus and the intellectual world of Scripture as a way to see ourselves and the universe more truly.
