This wouldn't be my book of choice for use in evangelism, Ultimate Questions is much better. However, this booklet does address some of the common reasons why people say or think that they will never become Christians.

I will never become a Christian because:

-All Christians are hypocrites
-To do so would be to commit intellectual suicide
-Christianity is just a crutch for those who cannot face up to reality
-There's nothing special about Christianity
-Christians cannot even agree amongst themselves
-A God of love could not possibly allow all of the evil and suffering there are in the world
-Religion, including Christianity, has been responsible for a good deal of trouble in the world
-I am afraid- I am afraid of what my family, friends will say, afraid of what I will have to give up, afraid that I will never be able to keep it up.....

After debunking a lot of the excuses and myths, the second part of the book explains what a Christian is. Then there is a third section with short testimonies from Christians in different professions presumably to demonstrate that Christianity is for everyone.

This could be a useful tool for someone with one of the specific reasons for not becoming a Christian listed above.… (meer)
