With
Pastor Gallups' easy-to-read, flowing writing style, his own brand of parables,
and references to both the Bible and the natural sciences, the Christian will
gain valuable perspective to assist their efforts in evangelizing the world,
and the atheist will seriously question and reconsider their "straw
man" arguments that run contrary to the proof presented within not only
THIS book, but in the Holy One as well.
He turns
the atheist mantra- that we believe in a “magic man in the sky”- on its head
and explains why the unbeliever does not have a leg to stand on. With a list of 15 “Vital Questions,” he
systematically demolishes the idea that we cannot prove God’s existence, His
words, His works, and that He is continuing to show Himself to us today.
Using a
fictional conversation between two college students that could very easily
represent what goes on between many of us and our friends, families, and
colleagues, he begins the book with a dialogue between an atheist and a
believer- a believer who is shaky in his faith.
By the end of the book, he tunes the conversation (and strengthens the aforementioned
believer’s faith) to reflect the truths revealed within the tome.
Pastor Gallups
uses real-world examples to discuss the difference between what the believer
experiences and the unbeliever is missing, and the reaction one might expect
once the unbeliever realizes his error.
He
quotes from the King James Bible (my personal preference,) and shows how it
applies to real-world science and history.
He explains how the biblical worldview is correct, and how the Bible and
Christianity are unique in their harmony with secular history. He reminds us of the patent lies and
contradictions of the evolutionist, including the long-disproven theory of
spontaneous generation. He shows how the
return of God’s people to the land of Israel and their reemergence as a global
superpower was not only predicted in God’s Word, but also how it would not have
been possible without God. He also
answers the atheist’s questions regarding the meaning of life, the problem of
evil, and those who have not even heard of the salvation of Christ. Finally, he exhorts the saved to proclaim the
Gospel boldly and competently, and calls the unbeliever to make a decision- a
decision that will have eternal consequences.
The
Magic Man in the Sky has given me confidence to enthusiastically answer my
aggressively anti-God friends and family when they scoff at my insistence that
not only are they missing out on wonderful things- salvation and a relationship
with Christ Jesus- but that there is EVIDENCE that backs up my argument that the
Bible is a book of real history and predictions that are coming true as we
watch. I highly recommend this book,
not only for the believer who needs reinforcements, but also for the atheist
who is curious about how we plan on knocking down his false premise.

In The Magic Man in the Sky, Carl Gallups has given us an exciting insight into the many unanswered questions of evolution theory and, based on biblical truths – both prophecies and promises, the possibilities of other worlds and realities denied by evolutionists. With his open and frank approach, supported by extensive research and information from learned professionals in their respective fields, Carl challenges believers and unbelievers to take a serious look at the subjects discussed in this book. Ultimately, Carl invites every reader to seriously consider the gravity and consequences of accepting or rejecting the truth presented. In this hour of all-but-universal darkness, a bright ray of hope and confidence shines forth from the truths of this book. In a time when lives are marked by a growing hunger for spiritual realities, Carl Gallups reveals the truth that real science and Holy Scripture are inseparably linked to verify that behind all creation there is an intelligent designer who created all that exists.
