How do you witness to an atheist without using the Bible?

I’ve got a friend who is a pretty strong atheist. I started witnessing to him a few months ago and I finally got him to go to church and at least think about God, but he seems to think it’s all a big joke. I have a hard time witnessing to him because he doesn’t believe that the Bible is true. I don’t know how else to witness to him except through the Bible. What should I do?

Philosophy and Prayer

Your friend may be interested in Christian philosophy, or at least those parts of it that attempt to prove or defend parts of Christianity without appealing to divine revelation. C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" is an example of this, as well as his "Miracles."

Here are some good authors at the introductory level:
Ravi Zacharias
Lee Strobel
C.S. Lewis

Here are some good authors at the intermediate level:
J.P. Moreland
William Lane Craig (your friend might enjoy his debates, here: http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/menus/debates.html)
