So around this time, I worked with a Christian. The nature of my job is that sometimes we are
over-run with work, and other times we have the chance to sit and relax. During one of these chill-out days, I’d
actually popped into work to sort out some paperwork. It was during my ‘holiday’. So my colleagues and I ended up spending
about three hours having a great conversation on theology.
From this, I was sent a link to a great discussion with John
Lennox about the logical truths of Christianity: http://www.veritas.org/Media.aspx#!/v/1028. This led to further discussions, and me
purchasing a Ravi Zacharias / Norman Giesler book – Who Made God: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Who-Made-God-Answers-Questions/dp/0310247101/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318717485&sr=8-2,
which I read cover to cover in a very short time, and was gripped. I read through various articles on
apologetics and another great book – The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Christ-Journalists-Personal-Investigation/dp/0310209307/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318717621&sr=1-1.
By this point, I was convinced on an intellectual level of
the existence of God, and the resurrection of Jesus. However, intellectual knowledge and faith are
two very different things.
About this time, I was invited to go along to a family
service at Hope Church: http://www.hopecorby.org/. I nervously attended, and actually enjoyed
the service. However, I certainly wasn’t
a Christian. I continued to attend, but
why, I didn’t actually know. I was drawn
there each week. Still, it took a while
before I was ready to accept Jesus.
