A Matter of Days Book

Hugh Ross (Author)

How long were the creation days of Genesis—hours or epochs? Does belief in an old earth equate to belief in evolution? Was there any kind of death before the Fall?

The length of the creation days in Genesis sparks a storm of controversy. At the core of the debate, where lightning strikes and thunder roars, lie key questions whose answers promise hope for resolution.

In A Matter of Days, author and astronomer Hugh Ross addresses these questions and explores how the creation-day controversy developed. History, theology, science, and Scripture reveal creation's big picture.

Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus--and Why It Matters Today Book

Jeremiah Johnston (Author)

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity’s most important historical fact—the resurrection—is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity.

In Body of Proof, acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus’ victory over death is central to a believer’s faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus …

Coming to Faith Through Dawkins: 12 Essays on the Pathway from New Atheism to Christianity Book

Denis Alexander (Author) & Alister McGrath (Author)

The book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, explores the surprising journeys of twelve individuals who converted to Christianity.

Despite coming from diverse backgrounds and countries, these people share a common thread: they were initially drawn to the ideas of Richard Dawkins and other prominent new atheists.

However, upon closer examination, they found the arguments and conclusions of Dawkins lacking. This critical engagement with atheism led them to explore religious faith with greater objectivity.

The book challenges the notion that Christianity and science are inherently opposed. The contributors argue that a deep examination of …

Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge Book

Michael J. Behe (Author)

The groundbreaking, "seminal work" (Time) on intelligent design that dares to ask, was Darwin wrong? In 1996, Darwin's Black Box helped to launch the intelligent design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness. It sparked a national debate on evolution, which continues to intensify across the country. From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key intelligent design text—the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it.

Fit for a Purpose: Does the Anthropic Principle include Biochemistry? Book

Fazale Rana (Author)

Nearly a half a century after the introduction of the idea that humanity lives in a universe at the just-right location, the just-right time, and with the just-right physical constants, the anthropic principle continues to gain acceptance among astronomers and astrophysicists.

But what about the unexplored areas of chemistry and biochemistry? Do we witness an equal amount of evidence for fine-tuning?

Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target Book

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist Book

Norman Geisler (Author) & Frank Turek (Author) & David Limbaugh (Foreword)

In "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist," Frank Turek argues that atheism requires more faith than belief in God. He challenges the idea that the universe arose by chance and suggests scientific principles like the Laws of Thermodynamics point to a purposeful design.

The book explores philosophical concepts like objective morality and the nature of truth. Turek contends that these concepts necessitate a source beyond the material world, which atheism cannot provide. He also examines the problem of evil, arguing that if God exists, evil must serve a greater purpose.

On the Resurrection, Volume 1: Evidences Book

Gary Habermas (Author)

In the first volume of his major work, "On the Resurrection: Evidences," Gary Habermas dedicates decades of research to the historical possibility of Jesus's resurrection.

Habermas proposes a "minimal facts argument" to establish the reliability of the biblical and historical accounts surrounding the resurrection.

This argument aims to convince readers that even if we don't accept every detail, the core elements of the story - Jesus's death, the empty tomb, and appearances to disciples - are likely true based on historical analysis.

By examining these "minimal facts," Habermas contends that the resurrection is the best explanation for the early Christian …

Origins of life Book

Fazale Rana (Author) & Hugh Ross (Author)

For years, naturalistic theories have monopolized academia as the only possible scientific explanation for the origin of life. But there's something many people don't know—the facts just don't support such theories.

In Origins of Life, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross reveal a model that shows how perspectives on life's beginnings can be tested—as a creation event—with astounding results. Rana and Ross challenge the myth that scientific evidence supports naturalistic theories and show how research corroborates a transcendent Creator who formed and nurtured the initial life-forms, and more.

Stephen C. Meyer (Author)

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.

Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief — that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and …

Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case Book

Frank Turek (Author)

In "Stealing from God," author Frank Turek argues that atheism unknowingly relies on concepts inherent to theism. He calls this phenomenon "C.R.I.M.E.S.," referring to Causality, Reason, Information and Intentionality, Morality, Evil, and Science.

Turek contends that atheists borrow the idea of causality, the principle that everything has a cause, to explain the universe's origin. He argues that without a God as the ultimate cause, atheism struggles to explain existence.

Similarly, Turek claims that reason and logic, tools atheists use to critique religion, are themselves God-given concepts. He posits that objective truth, a prerequisite for reason, necessitates a moral lawgiver like …
