“As a journalist at the Chicago Tribune, I covered some horrific crimes that helped cement me in my atheism. I didn’t realize that I was committing a series of intellectual crimes by stealing from God in order to argue against Him. Frank Turek brilliantly exposes these C.R.I.M.E.S. of atheism in a way that you’ll never forget.” LEE STROBEL Bestselling author of The Case for Christ and professor at Houston Baptist University “Let the record state that the days of atheist trash-talking are at an ignoble, bang-less, whimpering end. From the beginning of Frank Turek’s superb book, the New Atheists are on the ropes, praying to their Spaghetti Monsters for the bell to save them. Stealingfrom Godsends them to the canvas easily and with panache.” ERIC METAXAS New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and Miracles “Frank Turek in his usual inimitable, user-friendly style presentsa highly accessible case for the falsity of atheism and the truth of Christianity. This book provides powerful and clear answers to questions of enduring importance for every thinking person.” DR. JOHN LENNOX Professor of mathematics at Oxford University “I am a big fan ofI Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, but Stealing from God is Frank Turek’s best book to date. Meticulously researched and carefully argued, it shows that the atheist who argues that he doesn’t need to rely on God actually needs God to make that very argument. This book is an effective tool for reaching committed atheists because it demands that the atheists abide by the same standards they impose on others.” DR. MIKE ADAMS Professor of criminology at UNCW, columnist [at TownHall.com](at TownHall.com), and author of Letters to a Young Progressive “One of the reasons I love Frank Turek and his work is that he unapologetically takes his case for Christian apologetics directly and aggressively to the New Atheists. Stealing from God dismantles the fragile premises of atheists’ ‘articles of faith,’and, in the process, establishes an unassailable case for the truth of Christianity. This book comes at precisely the right time, when the New Atheists are trying their best to undermine the Christian worldview and purge it from our culture.” DAVID LIMBAUGH New York Times bestselling author of Jesus on Trial “Frank Turek has written an original critique of many of the most commonly used arguments for atheism, showing that in each case these arguments depend on facts or concepts that atheism itself has difficulty explaining. He also clearly explains the current scientific evidence and arguments for intelligent design. In so doing, he undermines the main argument of New Atheists such as Richard Dawkins who regard belief in God as‘delusional’ because they think that Darwin destroyed the design argument. A lively and persuasive book!” DR. STEPHEN C. MEYER Author of Darwin’s Doubt and Signature in the Cell “In Stealingfrom God, Frank Turek effectively demonstrates that like the child who must be lifted into the father’s lap to slap his face, atheists need God to make their case. A memorable presentation ‘so that you may know how to answer everyone’ (Col. 4:6).” HANK HANEGRAAFF President of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast “At a time of cultural urgency, Stealing from God is an important resource for anyone trying to make the case for Christianity. Frank Turek is smart, passionate, and unafraid to speak the truth. Stealing from God reflects the heart and energy of its author; it will change the way you think about the world and equip you to defend what you believe.” J. WARNER WALLACE Cold-case detective and author of Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels “Frank Turek takes 1 Peter 3:15 to heart by presenting a sound case for Christianity and equipping believers so they can have a solid defense. As he points out, every person on this planet adheres to a worldview
