Great general observation on apologetics from Terry Delaney, reviewing Nathan Busenitz’ Reasons We Believe:

As with any apologetics book, it must be noted that one cannot argue another person into heaven. One must be careful when reading resources like this or else they will become head-strong and heart-weak. What I mean by that is that it is one thing to read a book like Reasons We Believe to bolster one’s faith. It is something entirely different to read in order that you may win more arguments.
