    About this ebook

    You may have heard the age-old saying, “You can’t trust the Bible because it is written by a bunch of men.” In It’s Only a Book, author Justin Hoffman challenges that statement as well as numerous others related to religion, Christianity, and the Bible.

    More than an apologetic volume meant to tackle the difficult questions given by skeptics that target the Bible, this masterwork is designed to equip the Christian as a quick-reference-tool. Hoffman offers a thought-provoking discussion about this book that was written during the course of 1,600 years. He confronts the most insidious attacks against the Bible.

    It’s Only a Book offers a concise, yet definitive Christian work that rushes headlong into the debate over the authorship and authenticity of the Bible. Hoffman presents information that encourages people to look differently at the Bible and all that it reveals.
