Smart Faith: Loving God With All Your Mind by J.P. Moreland and Mark Matlock is a great book geared towards students. I really wish the book had been around when I was a teenager. The aim of the book is to challenge young men and women to think about the Christian Faith and not just live off their parents faith or emotion. The book is full of keen insights and practical challenges to help teens grow deeper in their capacity to think about the things of God.
The book is a great blend of Philosophy, Theology, and application. The later chapters in the book are especially relevent as the authors move the reader from the realm of deliberate thought to the realm of living a fully integrated life. This book is a great read for any teenager with a desire to grow or for adults with teenagers in their life. I just wish it had been around when I was fifteen.
This is a very well written book that challenges the reader to dig deeper every step of the way. The retail price is $12.99 (Paperback). It is also available at places like Amazon.com for $10.39. I give it 5 stars.
