Respectable books on apologetics?

If books like this existed, chances are there would be fewer atheists. What apologetics books are missing is evidence. Argumentation, no matter how well constructed or sophisticated, cannot overcome this. Apologetics is only satisfying to those that already believe or wish to believe in the existence of God as portrayed in the Bible.

If I must, I would stick with AAA: Augustine, Aquinas, and Anselm. Keep in mind that this is to understand the basis of much of Christian philosophy; the arguments have been refuted for hundreds of years.
