The Works of
DONALD R. WILSON
What Others Are Saying About
Because I Think, I Believe
The San Francisco Book Review
"This impressive piece of work not only exhibits Wilson’s passion for Christianity, but it also establishes him as an authority on the subject. In an ironic twist of the age-old battle between science and faith, the author makes use of scientific data to make a compelling argument to support the Christian faith. ...While the size of the book is somewhat compact, Wilson’s personal manifesto packs a serious punch. But his message is consistent. Christianity is there for all to embrace and explore and 'where man’s intellect fails, faith begins.'"
"A very convincing, objective case for Christianity.
"Overall, Because I Think, I Believe is a very thorough work and compelling in its comprehensive, objective treatment of truth, reality and the Christian faith.
"I would recommend this book to anyone--especially those who have ever questioned the case for Christianity of their own personal faith in Christ."

"As a college student in the 1970's, I read Paul Little's book KNOW WHY YOU BELIEVE. The book made a strong case for how logical the Christian faith was and how it should be accepted as the truth about the way the world actually works. For me, the 2011 equivalent of KNOW WHY YOU BELIEVE is Donald Wilson's BECAUSE I THINK, I BELIEVE: A Personal Christian Manifesto.
"Wilson starts with the question of absolute truth in Chapter One: What Do We Really Know about Anything? And covers a wide range of issues from the purpose of our existence and the existence of suffering to the Christian view of tolerance and inclusiveness.
"As I read this book, I kept thinking of who I wanted to pass it on to because of all the excellent points the author makes on issues and questions that have come up in my conversations with people over the years.
"Highly Recommended to anyone not afraid to examine the realities of life."

"Don Wilson gives a crystal-clear picture of the creationist Christian worldview. He graciously yet confidently shows the illogic of naturalism. This book will be a help and encouragement to many."

“Keeping one’s faith in today’s world may prove quite difficult. Because I Think, I Believe: A Personal Christian Manifesto is a guide for Christians who want to keep their faith in today’s assault of the ‘isms,’ as Donald R. Wilson terms them. Encouraging Christians to keep their beliefs strong and remember God in these times of many conflicting ideas, Because I Think, I Believe is a choice pick for Christian readers seeking to keep their faith strong.”

“Thanks [...] for grappling with the Great Questions. Your book is closely reasoned and well written... One of the strengths of the book is your skill in presenting truth to the man or woman in the pew without dumbing down the issues. Readers should be well equipped to engage in the give-and-take of open dialogue with everyone from a skeptic to a seeker.
“Thanks again for reminding us that we are called to love Him with our minds as well as our hearts.”

“Donald R. Wilson’s personal Christian manifesto, Because I Think, I Believe guides readers along a vital spiritual journey, exploring who God is, how we can be certain of his existence, the validity of accepting the Bible as the truth, and why Jesus Christ should be accepted as God in human form. This work is particularly resonant for ambivalent believers who question their faith, as it addresses many of the common objections to Christianity. “Wilson directly addresses science and disbelief, tackling it head-on and applying logic and reason with chapters such as: ‘Who is God, and Why Do So Many Disagree about Him?’
"Wilson bases all of his assertions on real-world findings and science, calling his the ‘testimony of a an ordinary person.’ Using a system of questions and references to popular culture to which a real-world audience can easily relate, the author tackles themes ranging from Darwinism to the meaning of life. His writing is startlingly in-tune with his audience, as reflected by the questions and needs of real-world people.
“To be sure, the book’s relevance is universal, assuming that many people find that they want to believe, despite having been exposed to and influenced by atheistic dogma that encourages doubt. He skillfully reverses those teachings that initially caused readers to question their faith, by inviting readers to question atheism. Wilson’s direct approach to atheism and science tackles important and unusual topics for religion from ‘Post-Modern Ideas’ and ‘Science as the Source of All Truth’ to ‘All Knowledge is Based on Faith in our Assumptions.’
“All those seeking
to validate their faith or put to rest any questions that logic and
rationality pose to religion will find Wilson’s style refreshing and
helpful. Because I Think, I
Believe employs powerful observations to dispel any questions
regarding the validity of Christianity, while its logic and reason
leave readers certain that properly understood, Christianity is the
only rational world-view. This is definitely a must read for all who
are interested in religion, faith, and truth.”
