Buy Now from AMG Buy Fear Not Da Vinci at: Christianbook.com ISBN: 0899570526 MSRP $14.99 224 Pages 6 x 9 inches Trade Paperback Thirty-five million copies of The Da Vinci Code are in print around the world. This entertaining book is just hitting its stride, with a major movie due out May 19, 2006 starring Tom Hanks.  Why has it been a blockbuster? Because people are searching for purpose and truth, even when reading a novel like The Da Vinci Code. The culture is interested in Jesus and his identity, but Christians often don’t feel comfortable or prepared to answer questions the book raises. Fear Not Da Vinci encourages and equips believers to shed their fear and “find common ground” with unbelievers. Included are anecdotes introducing readers to several different Da Vinci Code scenarios including a five-minute chat on the subway, a restaurant conversation, a book club meeting, a children’s art lesson, and a conversation with a close relative. Fear Not Da Vinci also answers specific questions readers are likely to encounter and provides practical faith-sharing techniques and resources. A number of Christian books have been produced which deconstruct and debunk Dan Brown’s claims item by item. However, Fear Not Da Vinci takes a big step forward using a friendly, encouraging tone as it urges Christians to use the opportunity for culturally relevant evangelism.
