Are you as honest in your search for the truth as Antony Flew?

Antony Flew for 50 years was one of the world’s preeminent atheists when he published over 30 books in which he made the case against God’s existence. One thing however kept Antony Flew from staying an atheist which was that he had made it his commitment to honestly, “follow the argument wherever it leads” which lead him to a belief in God as Creator.

Read Antony Flew’s book, “There is a God” and find out if you are honest in your search for the truth.

(Below are clips of Lee Strobel interviewing Flew)
