The Complete Bible Answer Book | The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

Hank Hanegraaff, who hosts a radio program, has put together a book that has many of his answers to questions he gets about God, Jesus, Christianity, and many other topics.

Evidence That Demands a Verdict | The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

Love Thy Body | The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

A wonderful thinker and writer, Nancy Pearcey, shows how the modern worldview has dehumanized us.

J.P. Moreland is a prolific author, and that's a good thing. His book on scientism is well worth reading. I cover a chapter that explains why Christians should be concerned about this dangerous ideology that has made such huge inroads into our society.
