    While we are often so caught up every day and temptation is often a thought, we must always remember to love our God by respecting the ten commandments and just spreading love. We learn in Exodus from the verse “You shall have no other Gods before me”, we must recognize that God is the creator, and he knows right and wrong and we must always remember to put him first in everything we do. We must also honor his character. We must never forget the grace, love and faithfulness through the hard times and through the good times. Another thing I really took away is to live a moral life.

    McDowell begins the book with an anecdote of his life; a familiar story of the sceptical university Agnostic, ready to fire back a retort at the slightest mention of God, Christianity, and anything (or anyone) within. He recounted the all too common feeling of a meaningless life, the seemingly innate itch of human existence, and how it brought him to various places in his life—until he stumbled upon a particular group of people and was changed forever. This introduction, though short, is crucial to understand, for it sets the stage for the remainder of the book. It tells not only the story of a former non-believer, but the story of everyone—it presents us the life of Jesus Christ, not as a gentle sermon or a feel-good retelling, but as an assertive, rational reply to the accusation: ‘Christianity is a myth, and so is your God.’
