To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. 

Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith. 

Some questions can stop a conversation. Today, more than ever, people are raising difficult, penetrating questions about faith, God, and the Bible. Based on an exclusive new Barna survey of 1,000 Christians, The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask presents compelling, easy-to-grasp answers to ten of the most troubling questions facing Christians today. These include everything from the existence of heaven to the issues of abortion and homosexuality, as well as the question of whether evolution eliminates our need for a God. 

 How credible is the evidence for--and against--the resurrection? Focusing his award-winning skills as a legal journalist on history's most compelling enigma, Lee Strobel retraces the startling findings that led him from atheism to belief. He examines:

• The Medical Evidence: Was Jesus's death a sham and his resurrection a hoax?
• The Evidence of the Missing Body: Was Jesus's body really absent from his tomb?
• The Evidence of Appearances: Was Jesus seen alive after his death on the cross?

 Another Gospel? Describes the intellectual journey Alisa Childers took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. After everything she had ever believed about God, Jesus, and the Bible had been picked apart, she found herself at the brink of despair . . . until God rescued her, helping her to rebuild her faith, one solid brick at a time.

In a culture of endless questions, you need solid answers. If you or someone you love has encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity and aren’t sure how to respond, Alisa’s journey will show you how to determine―and rest in―what’s unmistakably true. 

Drifting…it happens to EVERY believer. It is subtle and also hard to detect. What drift?The drift away from the true, relational Gospel to a distorted, functional one.In Drifted, author and pastor Justin Kane explains the difference between the functional and the relational Gospel, saying, “One puts the pressure and a constant spotlight on the believer, and the other points us directly to Christ. One highlights our performance and shortcomings, and the other highlights the finished work of the Savior. One keeps the burden on man and the other takes up the easy yoke and light burden of Jesus.”Drifted will help readers see WHY they drift, WHERE they have drifted and HOW it has affected their relationship with God. The various reasons Christians drift can be very difficult to detect. Readers will discover why it happens time and again to so many believers. Not only will readers better understand the relational Gospel, but they will also leave with a greater understanding regarding the dangerous and destructive functional Gospel that has crept in and hindered the faith of far too many.
