The collaborative effort of author and international speaker Norman Geisler (who has spent more than forty years in Christian ministry and academia, and currently serves as President of the Southern Evangelical Seminary Southern Evangelical is a Seminary and Bible College near Charlotte, North Carolina, dedicated to training men and women to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and defend the historic Christian faith (see Christian Apologetics).

) and Frank Turek (an articulate advocate in defense of Christianity and traditional moral principles), I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist argues that all worldviews (including atheism atheism (ā`thē-ĭz'əm), denial of the existence of God or gods and of any supernatural existence, to be distinguished from agnosticism, which holds that the existence cannot be proved. ) require faith and that, surprisingly, Christianity requires the least faith of all the competing belief systems because it is the most reasonable in addressing the fundamental questions of where we came from, why are we here, how should we live, and where are we going. I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist reveals the flaws in thinking that religion is merely a matter of opinion or preference, that the existence of evil and the silence of God defy explanation for the believer, and that only what can be tested in a science lab can be accepted as truth. Offering a logical twelve-point progression, the authors document that the truth about reality is knowable, that God does indeed exist, and that the Bible is a reliable document upon which to explore and understand the answers to life's basic questions. Strongly recommended to the attention of the Christian community regardless of denominational de·nom·i·na·tion
