Editorial Review:

Product Description:
You can't be friends with God if the God you believe in doesn't really exist.
You can't depend on God if your God is a figment of your imagination.
In a world full of gods, how do you know Jesus is real?




You have probably heard things like:

  • All religions lead to the same God.
  • All faiths teach the same things.


It doesn't matter what you believe--just that you believe sincerely. But Jesus said that:

  • He alone is the way to God.
  • He alone shows us the truth of who God is.
  • He alone gives us life close to God.


In this youth edition of Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi Zacharias gives solid evidence as to why we should choose Jesus Christ as THE God among all other gods. Zacharias contrasts the truth of Jesus with the founders of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, providing strong descriptions of each faith and solid defenses for the cause of Christ. In addition to the religion comparisons, the book answers questions such as: "What about all the hypocrites at church?" "How scientific is science?" "How can you best share what you believe?" and "Does the Bible teach reincarnation?" You can never be too young to learn how to defend your faith . . . and this book will tell you exactly how to do just that!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I recant
To those who have posted negative (one star only) reviews:

Having read your comments I don't get the sense from your posts that you understood what you have read. Please allow some time to pass, then go back and take another crack at it. There have been several times in my life that I have rejected someone's writing only to realize years later that I had mistakenly dismissed a gem because I wasn't prepared for it the first go-around. This book was one of those times. I initially ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
Ravi has carried the mantle of C.S. Lewis as the voice of christian apologetics in the 21st century. He draws from a wealth of resources not the least of which is his mind.
As his disclaimer advises in the forward, he did not wish to bash other faiths BUT I would have liked a more frequent and in depth comparison to other religions. He did a thorough job expressing the unique christian perspective.
I would read Ravi giving his opinion about the new iphone, high definition television, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Jesus Among Other Gods
Book was just what I wanted. I had borrowed same book from friend and wanted my own copy to use in my Sunday School Class.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Overall an interesting approach
"Jesus Among Other Gods" is a book that is bound to be controversial. I say this first in my review because while most people may understand their religious differences with Ravi, they may not be aware of epistemological differences. Ravi, assuming that absolute truth is within human grasp, directly undercuts that relativistic tendency of modern religious thought. So when you read this book, please take note of this important detail.

A good summary paragraph of this book is "The ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but title may mislead you
This is a good book, but unlike what the title suggests, it is not a comparison of Christianity with other religions. (For that, I recommend Stephen Neill's book, Christian Faith and Other Faiths, published in the 1950s.) This is more of a personal testimony of why Ravi Zacharias chose Christ rather than the alternatives. As in all of Zacharias' work, there is strong emphasis on the intellectual coherence of Christian faith and on the relation of belief to emotion -- what you believe determines how you ...
