First Steps for New Christians, New Living Translation Version
Greg Laurie
Cold-Case Christianity
J. Warner Wallace
In *Cold-Case Christianity*, J. Warner Wallace uses his experience as a homicide detective to investigate the claims of the Gospels. He applies ten common rules of evidence to determine the historical reliability of the Bible, the role of evidence in Christian faith, and why the gospel eyewitness accounts demonstrate the historicity of Jesus. The book includes updated content, new illustrations, and an afterword addressing questions about the New Testament's reliability. It is designed for both spiritual seekers and Christians looking to articulate the case for Jesus and the Bible's validity.

Today, a message of caution: anyone can fall.
