The case for Christ

a journalist's personal investigation of the evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel

In 'The Case for Christ,' Lee Strobel, a former atheist and investigative journalist, conducts a comprehensive investigation into the claims of Jesus Christ. Using his background in law and journalism, Strobel interviews over a dozen experts with doctorates from prestigious institutions like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis. He delves into questions such as the reliability of the New Testament, the existence of evidence for Jesus outside the Bible, and the validity of Jesus' resurrection. The book is a detailed and readable exploration of the evidence for Christ's divinity, making it a compelling resource for apologetics and those seeking to understand the Christian faith.

Mere Christianity

C.S. Lewis

In 'Mere Christianity', C.S. Lewis argues for the existence of God and defends Christian theology. The book is divided into four parts: the first argues for the existence of God based on the 'law of human nature'; the second defends Christian theology, including the 'Liar, lunatic, or Lord' trilemma regarding Jesus Christ; the third explores Christian ethics, including the cardinal and theological virtues; and the fourth discusses the Christian conception of God, particularly the Holy Trinity. Lewis also addresses topics such as free will, morality, sexual ethics, and the institution of marriage. The book is known for its clear and logical presentation of Christian apologetics and has been praised for its straightforward and humorous writing style.

Live Your Truth and Other Lies

Alisa Childers

Live Your Truth and Other Lies is a book by Alisa Childers that tackles the challenges of progressive Christianity and its impact on the church. It examines how certain progressive ideas contradict traditional Christian teachings and explores the historical context of these debates. The book offers a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the issues facing contemporary Christianity, providing readers with tools to navigate the complexities of faith in a changing world. It encourages readers to engage with the historical roots of Christian belief and to critically evaluate modern interpretations. Childers' work serves as a guide for those seeking to understand and defend their faith in the face of evolving cultural norms.

Another Gospel?

A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity

Alisa Childers

In 'Another Gospel? ', Alisa Childers describes her intellectual journey over several years as she grappled with questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. Raised in a Christian home and formerly part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl, Alisa's faith was deeply challenged by a progressive pastor. The book details her struggle with doubt and her eventual rebuilding of her faith through a thorough examination of historic Christianity. It serves as a guide for those encountering progressive Christianity, offering solid answers in a culture of endless questions.

The Deconstruction of Christianity

What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond

Alisa Childers

Tim Barnett

This book delves into the deconstruction movement within Christianity, explaining what it is, why it is destructive, and how to respond. It distinguishes between a crisis of faith and deconstruction, highlighting common triggers such as suffering, doubt, politics, purity culture, and toxic theology. The authors advocate for a reformation or reconstruction of faith based on Scripture rather than deconstruction. The book is divided into three parts, covering the manifestation of deconstruction, its causes, and how to love and help those undergoing it.

Former public school teacher Shanda Fulbright joins the podcast to talk about how each Christian parent can navigate the cultural challenges their kids will encounter whether they choose to send them to public school, private school, or homeschool. We talk through practical ways parents can disciple their kids with a biblical worldview in each stage of development. Plus, Shanda is teaching a course for 7th-9th graders on apologetics that includes the foundation of truth and Christianity, as well as a survey of counterfeit gospels and world religions. Her course starts on February 24th, so register your teen today at:
