The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity Book

Lee Strobel (Author)

In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith:

  • "Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot"
  • "Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true"
  • "Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed"
  • "God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children"
  • "It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God"
  • "A loving God would never torture people in hell"
  • "Church history is littered with oppression and violence"
  • "I still have doubts, so I …

The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture Book

Scott Klusendorf (Author)

Pro-life Christians, take heart: the pro-life message can compete in the marketplace of ideas-provided Christians properly understand and articulate that message. Too many Christians do not understand the essential truths of the pro-life position, making it difficult for them to articulate a biblical worldview on issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research.

The Case for Life provides intellectual grounding for the pro-life convictions that most evangelicals hold. Author Scott Klusendorf first simplifies the debate: the sanctity of life is not a morally complex issue. It’s not about choice, privacy, or scientific progress. To the contrary, the debate turns on one …

The Case for Miracles Book

Lee Strobel (Author)

Lee Strobel, a former atheist and legal journalist, embarks on a quest to investigate the validity of miracles in his book "The Case for Miracles." He begins by interviewing Dr. Michael Shermer, a well-known skeptic, who presents arguments against the existence of miracles, often citing the improbability of defying natural laws. This challenge serves as the foundation for Strobel's exploration.

Strobel then delves into personal accounts of miraculous events, including healings and interventions seemingly defying scientific explanation. He also engages with experts like Dr. Gary Habermas, a philosopher of religion, and Dr. Richard Dawkins, a renowned evolutionary biologist, who offer …

The Coddling of the American Mind Book

Greg Lukianoff (Author) & Jonathan Haidt (Author)

Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. How did this happen?

First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil …

Hugh Ross (Author)

Few of us can venture outside on a clear, dark night without pausing for a silent, reflective gaze at the stars. For countless centuries, people have felt a sense of wonder about the heavens.

The Crucifixion of Jesus: A Medical Doctor Examines the Death and Resurrection of Christ

The Crucifixion of Jesus: A Medical Doctor Examines the Death and Resurrection of Christ Book

Joseph Bergeron (Author)

This ground-breaking work offers a unique apologetic argument for the validity of the Gospel accounts of Jesus' death and resurrection. Dr. Bergeron's medical expertise allows him to examine the medical aspects of Jesus' death and as well as the "hallucination hypothesis" which attempts to discount Jesus' resurrection.

This book explores the following areas:

  • Jesus' claim to be the son of God and the Messiah of Hebrew prophetic literature
  • Evidence of the trustworthiness of the Gospel as reliable eyewitness testimony
  • The social and political context leading up to Jesus' execution
  • Roman crucifixion practices in public executions
  • Physiological mechanisms that ultimately led …

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine Book

Alister McGrath (Author)

World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion.

Alister McGrath, along with his wife Joanna, are ideal to evaluate Dawkins's ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different …

Jimmy Evans (Author) & Craig Groeschel (Foreword)

The Four Laws of Love represents the culmination of Jimmy Evans’ influential career. In this deeply personal book, Jimmy Evans outlines the foundational pillars upon which God designed marriage. Without holding back, he tells the story of his own marriage, which was hurtling toward divorce until this self-proclaimed “bad husband” came to recognize and put into practice these four laws.

This book sounds a wake-up call for every kind of marriage. Including those that are barely surviving and those that seem to operate on autopilot. Couples who follow these simple guidelines―recognizing the original intent and purpose of marriage―will inject new …

The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul

The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul Book

Michael Egnor (Author) & Denyse O'Leary (Author)

A neuroscientist and surgeon makes an argument for the existence of a spiritual human soul in this eye-opening book.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.

The Real Kosher Jesus: Revealing the Mysteries of the Hidden Messiah Book

Michael L Brown (Author)

Michael L. Brown's "The Real Kosher Jesus" critiques the idea of a "Kosher Jesus" – a Jesus acceptable to Judaism. Brown argues that while recognizing Jesus (Yeshua) as a fellow Jew and rabbi is positive, it downplays his unique significance.

The book delves into the true identity and mission of Jesus. Brown explores various perspectives, including the Apostle Paul's influence on Christian theology about Jesus.

Brown promises a journey filled with discoveries and insights, challenging readers' preconceptions. He aims to present the "real story" of Jesus – the most famous Jew in history, a prophet, a rabbi, and for Brown, …

The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism Book

Timothy Keller (Author)

From Tim Keller's Website:

Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?

These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons …

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries Book

Rodney Stark (Author)

Rodney Stark's "fresh, blunt, and highly persuasive account of how the West was won—for Jesus" (Newsweek)—a provocative report that challenges conventional wisdom and finds that Christianity's astounding dominance of the Western world arose from its offer of a better, more secure way of life.

"Compelling reading" (Library Journal) that is sure to "generate spirited argument" (Publishers Weekly), this account of Christianity's remarkable growth within the Roman Empire is the subject of much fanfare. "Anyone who has puzzled over Christianity's rise to dominance ... must read it." says Yale University's Wayne A. Meeks, for The Rise of Christianity makes a compelling …

If you are a conservative living in America today, there is a target on your back.
If you are a Christian conservative, that target is even bigger.

If you are a Christian conservative who refuses to bow down to the spirit of the age, the spirit of political correctness, that target is so big that you are a marked man or woman. A person like that — like you! — must be silenced.

So says today's cultural elite, who are making it increasingly difficult for Christians to stand up and live out their faith. In The Silencing of the Lambs, …

The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again Book

Justin Brierley (Author)

Could We Be Witnessing a Return of Belief in Our Generation?

Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith.

Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story?

It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of …

In his conversational, fun-to-read, and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing. What's more, just admitting that we're profoundly biased toward ourselves and want desperately to preserve our "rightness" at all costs even helps us think better, make better decisions, be better listeners, and improve our relationships with God and …

The things we care about most -- our identity, our purpose, our relationships -- are far more important than a game. We have to learn to win in these areas.

We understand development when it comes to sports, our careers, our hobbies, and even our personal lives. There …

We live in a radically skeptical age. Tough questions are being asked about Christianity. And most believers are ill-equipped to provide the answers our culture and communities desperately need. Many in today’s church do not know the Bible as well as they should and they struggle with their own “big questions” about the faith.

After receiving more than four thousand questions at his Christian Thinkers Society events over the span of six years, Dr. Jeremiah Johnston began to recognize six categories of recurring, trending questions that dominated the rest. In Unanswered, he tackles these tough issues that plague the minds …

Who Was Adam? A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of Humanity Book

Hugh Ross (Author) & Fazale Rana (Author)

Who was Adam? Was he the result of still ongoing natural processes or a unique creation?

Ten years ago, in the first edition of Who Was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross proposed a ground-breaking new approach to probe questions about human origins. This approach, which they have called the “testable creation model,” advanced the radical idea that the traditional biblical view of Adam and Eve has scientific credibility.

The first half of this updated edition has left the original manuscript in tact. The second half then reflects on how the model has fared in light of a …

A humanized NOVA1 splicing factor alters mouse vocal communications

A humanized NOVA1 splicing factor alters mouse vocal communications Publication

Nature Communications (Publisher)
Publication that may very well be understood as further evidence of human exceptionalism.
Abstract: NOVA1, a neuronal RNA-binding protein expressed in the central nervous system, is essential for survival in mice and normal development in humans. A single amino acid change (I197V) in NOVA1’s second RNA binding domain is unique to modern humans. To study its physiological effects, we generated mice carrying the human-specific I197V variant (Nova1hu/hu) and analyzed the molecular and behavioral consequences. While the I197V substitution had minimal impact on NOVA1’s RNA binding capacity, it led to specific effects on alternative splicing, and CLIP revealed multiple binding peaks …

A reassessment of the “hard-steps” model for the evolution of intelligent life

A reassessment of the “hard-steps” model for the evolution of intelligent life Publication

Science Advances (Publisher)
Publication highlighting the exceptionalism of human existence.
Abstract: According to the “hard-steps” model, the origin of humanity required “successful passage through a number of intermediate steps” (so-called “hard steps”) that were intrinsically improbable in the time available for biological evolution on Earth. This model similarly predicts that technological life analogous to human life on Earth is “exceedingly rare” in the Universe. Here, we critically reevaluate core assumptions of the hard-steps model through the lens of historical geobiology. Specifically, we propose an alternative model where there are no hard steps, and evolutionary singularities required for human origins can be explained via …

Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Proximal Intercessory Prayer (STEPP) on Auditory and Visual Impairments in Rural Mozambique

Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Proximal Intercessory Prayer (STEPP) on Auditory and Visual Impairments in Rural Mozambique Publication

Southern Medical Association (Publisher)

This study by the Southern Medical Association investigated the potential therapeutic effects of proximal intercessory prayer (PIP) on hearing and vision impairments in rural Mozambique. PIP differs from distant intercessory prayer (DIP) in that the prayers are offered in the physical presence of the recipient. The researchers measured the hearing and vision of 24 participants (19 males, 5 females) before and after receiving PIP interventions.

The study found statistically significant improvements in both auditory and visual function following PIP. Hearing thresholds, measured at 3 kHz, showed significant improvement across the entire group. Similarly, binocular visual acuity increased significantly as well. …
