Book Synopsis

In Walking from East to West, now in softcover, author Ravi Zacharias invites you on a journey through his life: to visit the neighborhood in India where he grew up, to feel a mother's love and the consternation of a harsh father, and see how he has become more convinced with each year that Jesus Christ is the one who came to give us life to the fullest.

Christianity Today

'A frank, endearing story of a respected apologist and evangelical statesman's life....[It] starkly contrasts the real implications of rejecting or accepting the lordship of Jesus. Nothing short of meaning in life is at stake, and Walking from East to West exposes the silliness of much popular religious pluralism by underscoring the gravity of worldview selection....This is storytelling in the fashion of C. S. Lewis: rational argumentation expressed in narrative.' -- Christianity Today
