Wouldn't it be great to take, say, fifteen minutes and think with Sam about the Trinity, or whether all religions lead us to God, or whether prayer really makes any difference in our lives? Tough Topics 2 offers us that.

... thoughtful brief answers that aren't superficial. As a model pastor-theologian, he answers with clarity, wisdom, and grace.
-- Andy Naselli (Associate Professor of New Testament and Systematic Theology, Bethlehem College and Seminary, Minneapolis, Minnesota)
I believe that in this volume you are going to find a careful theologian with a caring pastoral heart seeking to help everyone think through some of the toughest topics out there. You are going to find a man that upholds the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture, and seeks to understand all of Scripture and apply it to all of life. As such, I believe that this volume, as well as its predecessor, belongs on your shelf as a go-to resource to help you answer and think biblically about some of the most challenging topics in Scripture.
-- Zack Ford, Youth Pastor, Grace Bible Church

This is a truly refreshing and thought-provoking read.
