Quote from the book:
"We claim that there is strong evidence supporting Christianity. How will we proceed through this evidence? Since 1996, we have traveled together around the country conducting a seminar called, "The Twelve Points that show Christianity is true." In it, we proceed logically from the question of truth all the way to the conclusion that the bible is the Word of God. This book generally will follow this same logical, twelve point progress."
1. Truth about reality is knowable
2. The opposite of true is false
3. It is true that the theistic God exists. This evidence by the:
a. Beginning of the universe (Cosmological Argument)
b. Design the universe (Teleological Argument/Anthropic Principle)
c. Design of life (Same thing like section B)
d. Moral Law (Moral Argument)
4. If God exists, then miracles are possible
5. Miracles can be used to confirm a message from God (I.E., as acts of God to confirm a word from God)
6. The New Testament is historically reliable. This is evidence by:
a. Early testimony
b. Eyewitnesses
c. Uninvented (Authentic) Testimony
d. Eyewitnesses who were not deceived
7. The New Testament says Jesus claimed to be God, or should I say: "I am that I am."
8. Jesus' claim to be God was miraculously confirmed by
a. His fulfillment of many prophecies about himself;
b. His sinless life and miraculous deeds;
c. His prediction and accomplishment of his resurrection
9. Therefore, Jesus is God
10. Whatever Jesus (who is God) teaches is true
11. Jesus taught that the bible is the Word of God
12 Therefore, it is true that the bible is the Word of God (and anything opposed to it is false)

If I were you, go check out Friedrich Nietzche who says this: "If one were to prove this God of the Christian to us, we should be even less able to believe in Him, and It is our preference that decides against Christianity, not arguments." (Nazi German)
