My personal opinion is to go with books like Josh McDowell’s Evidence That Demands a Verdict, or {darn, forgot the author’s name} Surprised By Truth.

These books give strong logical evidence for God’s existence and the reliability of the Bible. As just one for-instance, they discuss how archaeological and scientific evidence have confirmed events described in the Bible, including (again, just one for-instance) that Sodom and Gomorrah have been found and the evidence left behind matches the Bible’s description of their destruction.

They discuss the fact that there are more extant copies of the Bible (by an amazing amount) than of any other ancient text and that those copies agree with each other far more than do copies of any other ancient text (thus, suggesting that we can have some confidence what’s in the Bible really is what was originally there, not corruptions and typos upon typos over the years.)

Keep in mind, though, people will ultimately believe what they want to believe, and also that often we can do no more than plant seeds, and we will never see the end result.
 
very few pagans and witches are born into the religion. So you are dealing with mostly people who are hurt, disillusioned and disappointed by Christianity in the first place. It is not like the pagans the ancient Saints dealt with who did not know anything about Christ. Most modern pagans have rejected Christ for some reason very valid to them.
Proving the existence of the Christian God and the authority of the Bible meant nothing to me. I had to be shown the beauty in Christianity that I did not believe was there because of the ugliness I had seen done in its name.

Did you believe in the existence of God at the time you were pagan?

I never did not believe in the existence of God. I just did not believe He was who the Christians thot He was. I believed there were many gods and that the ultimate One God would be the one who was your ancestral/ethnic deity. And God was both male and female. In fact my ancestral God was a Trinity.

in the other thread about bad experiences with Wicca in non-Catholic religions forum there is a common denominator in the stories being told–all turned to paganism thru wanting to love God and feel God’s love (which they didn’t from the religion they were before Wicca et al) and what brought them out was MARY. Not any particular intellectual apologetics…
