"Evidence That Demands A Verdict" by Josh McDowel
This book examines many of the criticisms that have been made against the Bible. McDowel takes the approach of an attorney, and presents both the charges against the Bible, and testimony by expert witnesses such as scholars, scientists, and archeologists who support the validity of the stories and events described in the Bible.
Josh McDowel has written several books of a similar nature, and IMO, they do a great job of answering the critics and debunking their accusations. They are a great tool for increasing one's faith.
