After the success of Heretics, G. K. Chesterton was challenged and compelled to share the story of his pilgrimage to faith. The result is this bracing, watershed religious autobiography in which he follows the doctrines determined in the Apostle’s Creed to deliver a personal, yet universal, defense of Christianity. Ultimately, the literary giant answers the question - not of whether divinity can be believed - but rather, how he himself came to believe it.

Pastor Ulrich Parzany stellt auch nach vielen Jahrzehnten der Christusnachfolge erstaunt fest, dass der Glaube an Jesus keine leeren Versprechen macht. Die vollmundig klingenden Behauptungen sind tatsächlich wahr: Gott will unser Glück. Er möchte dabei erreichen, dass skeptische Leser Vertrauen fassen, vom Zweifeln zum Staunen kommen und erkennen: Jesus Christus ist die Hoffnung der Welt.

Biola professor John Marriott and ministry veteran Shawn Wicks have met a lot of people who are troubled by the Bible. Whether it is apparent contradictions in Scripture or the violence depicted in the Old Testament, Scripture presents itself as an obstacle to faith. Many former Christians consistently report that the number one reason they no longer identify as Christians is the Bible itself. Raised in the church but having only a Sunday School level of familiarity with the Bible, former Christians were shocked when they picked it up and read it for themselves.

As a columnist for the New York Times who writes often about spiritual topics for a skeptical audience, Ross Douthat understands that many of us—whether we are agnostic, somewhat religious, or longtime believers—want to have more faith than we do. But we think we can't believe the way our ancestors did, knowing what we know now—can we? With clear and straightforward arguments, Believe shows how religious belief makes sense of the order of the cosmos and our place within it, illuminates the mystery of consciousness, and explains the persistent reality of encounters with the supernatural.

B. B. Warfield critiques claims of miraculous divine healing and other supernatural gifts in the post-apostolic church. He argues that true miracles ceased with the close of the apostolic age, and he debunks purported signs and wonders from the patristic era through his own time. Warfield maintains that while God still is at work in the world, He now acts through providential means rather than through immediate, miraculous intervention.

In our world today, faith and reason are often seen as opposing forces. We are told that belief in God is unreasonable and there is not plausible explanation of his existence. We are told the Gospels are just ancient myths from centuries past and that it's unreasonable to believe they could be trustworthy sources that accurately depict Jesus and his life. We are also told it is unreasonable to believe that the radical claims that Jesus made about himself—especially that he is divine—could possibly be true.

Through the study of Catholic tradition, the lives of the saints, and ordinary people, you'll begin to understand how the message of inward healing is also a message that we as Catholics are empowered to take outward to the world.

In 1948 the leaders of the Jewish people came before US President Harry S Truman and claimed that they had rights over the land of Palestine through the Biblical Deed. Based on that assumption the United States through the United Nations granted the Jews a state in Palestine. The book puts for a Biblical Old Testament Counterargument on behalf of the Palestinian People.

Dan Brown's International best-seller The DaVinci Code has raised many questions in the minds of readers. The DaVinci Code, in blurring the lines between fact and fiction, popularizes the speculations and contentions of numerous more serious books that are also attracting wide attention. How should we respond to such claims that we now have documents that reveal secrets about Jesus, secrets long suppressed by the church and other religious institutions?

Whether you are skeptical of God's existence or seeking scientific support for your faith, The Creator and the Cosmos will enable you to see how the heavens do declare the glory of God (Ps. 19:1).

Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet, these researchers - along with countless ordinary folks - resist belief in the biblical creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes.

Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.

Meditating God’s Way: A Christian Path to Strength and Resilienceis a roadmap for people who are searching for tools that build strength and resilience. Originally adapted from Reclaiming the Art of Biblical Meditation and The Strength You Need Morgan identifies key passages from Scripture to help believer’s face life’s challenges and practical instruction on how to get the most out of biblical meditation.

In The Gospel and My Black Skin, Dr. JP Foster boldly tackles the complex, often unspoken questions many Black people are asking today. As white nationalism gains momentum, revisionist history distorts the past, and churches remain complicit—or silent—on matters of justice, a growing number of Black believers are questioning the faith they've inherited while others are walking away. Dr. Foster offers a timely and prophetic response.

El libro Introducción a la apologética cristiana de Antonio Cruz es una respuesta a la tendencia hostil que hay en nuestro mundo y sociedad actual, la cual tiende a ridiculizar a la religión y a la fe cristiana de forma especial, y por supuesto a la existencia de Dios, dando argumentos científicos, filosóficos y sociales para acabar mostrando que la fe cristiana es una fe "no científica, no razonada, etc.

"Apologetics is that branch of practical theology concerned with the defense of the Christian faith. Yet, I discovered that, for years, I had being doing apologetics wrong. It turned out that what I was defending was not really the Christian faith, but simply a form of theism. In this book, I introduce the concept of presuppositional apologetics, and examine it from Scripture...." - Paul Taylor, author

How do we make sense of the world's different religions? In today's globalized society, religion is deeply intertwined with every issue we see on the news. But talking about multiple religions can be contentious. Are different faiths compatible somehow? And how can we know whether one religion is more true than another? In this creative thought experiment, Peter Kreeft invites us to encounter dialogues on the world's great faiths.

Most Christians already believe they should be telling others about Jesus, but traditional methods are no longer as effective in today's post-Christian world. Thus, we may become frustrated, blame ourselves, or simply give up. Evangelism in a Skeptical World: Audio Lectures equips Christians with the principles and skills needed to tell the unbelievable news about Jesus to friends in a skeptical world.

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. This audiobook brings together C. S. Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

He had science and an Ivy League pedigree―why did he need God? Immersed in his physics studies at Cornell, Tom Rudelius never thought much about God until his brother, a new convert to Christianity, challenged him to explore faith. To placate his twin, he reluctantly began exploring the Bible and the life of Jesus. Seeking proof of God’s existence, he found himself in a world of uncertainty, faced with plenty of reasons for both faith and doubt. In Chasing Proof, Finding Faith, Tom, now a rising young theoretical physicist, traces his journey to unexpected faith.
