Developing Your Shape to Serve Others Book

I think this book was written backwards.It's almost as if someone rearranged the chapters. Muncaster tried to use the Bible itself to provide evidence for Jesus before he even began discussing the validity of it. Evidence for the Bible's validity came in the second-half of the book, AFTER Muncaster used the Bible to prove that Jesus was the Messiah and that he resurrected. I think the book would've had more weight if the sections discussing the Bible were the first few chapters. Also, he argues that the resurrection happened before he argues that Jesus existed. I think a more logical order would be: reliability of Bible, Jesus' existence, resurrection.

Overall, the book felt haphazard. Muncaster doesn't specify exactly what he's trying to provide evidence for. Some of his arguments were flimsy, such as using the changed lives of new converts to prove Jesus. If Muncaster used more archaeological evidence and secular historical documents to argue his case, the book would've been more convincing. The most fascinating part of the book was where he discussed archaeological evidence and secular documents. Muncaster's intended audience are the Christians, which kind of explains his rather illogical order of arguments. For Christians, the book kind of confirms whatever they already believe. For non-Christians looking for a book that will "prove" Christianity's claims, this isn't the one.
