Water-tight reasoning
I would love to give this book five stars, but, alas, I can't. There are major theological points that are left out in this book, but I don't think that we could expect too much more in a book on natural theology. \\r\\nPlantinga skips almost no steps in his reasoning, which will assure thoughtful readers, concluding that belief in God is very reasonable indeed. It is not a particularly difficult book; it only requires that you concentrate and """"think hard"""" on what is presented. Please read this book. \\r\\nHighly recommended!
