The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

Mama Bear Apologetics | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Chapter 2 of this book is useful for those who wish to get started in apologetics, whether a mama bear or a man. Hillary Short explains what an apologist is (and isn't) as well as how to get started explaining the truth of Christianity to others.

Improbable Planet | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Noted astrophysicist Hugh Ross explains why our earth is not the result of mere accident. The section I cover deals with the creation of the moon and the fact that earth inhabits not one but seven habitable zones required for life to exist.

Talking With Your Kids About Jesus | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

I really appreciate Natasha Crain, whose books help parents raise good, solid Christian kids. This book covers 30 conversations that every parent needs to have. I'm discussing one key question she raises: Is Jesus a myth?

A General Introduction to the Bible | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Norm Geisler tackles four major questions about the Bible in this book--Who wrote it? Which books belong in it? Has it been accurately preserved? Has it been adequately translated? I look at a chapter that explores evidences for the inspiration of the Bible. In other words, what is the evidence that the Bible has divine authority?

Resurrection | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Hank Hanegraaff covers a topic that makes many Christians uncomfortable--the doctrine of hell.

Now That’s A Good Question | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

In chapter 20 R. C. Sproul covers important questions: Why do Christians think they know how other people should live? Should Christians impose their ethics upon non-Christians? How can we as Christians ascertain when God's Word was applicable to a certain culture and therefore may not be applicable to us today? How do we uphold Christian ethics without being judgmental?

Jesus Among Secular Gods | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

This book challenges the popular "isms" that modern culture has worshiped. In this chapter Vince Vitale takes on the popular idea of hedonism, the idea that life is all about our happiness.

Kingdom of the Cults | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

The revised version of a popular book covers so much good information about various religious groups. I'm looking at chapter 18, which tells how Christian Science, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormonism view Jesus.
