Many people argue that the presence of evil in the world is proof that God cannot exist, or if he does exist, cannot be good or all-powerful. Greg Welty uses biblical exegesis alongside his experience as a philosopher to present a different conclusion. God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the world, really does work all things for good. A must-listen for anyone struggling with this issue.

Why Should I Trust the Bible?

Story
The Bible is a cobbled-together selection of ancient writings that have been changed so many times by so many people over hundreds of years that surely the text can no longer be trusted, right? Certainly, there are plenty of people who take this view. Author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the fact that the Bible is a difficult book to believe. It is full of incidents that seem highly improbable, if not impossible. Especially suitable for people who are skeptical of its accuracy and of its authority, this book takes a reasonable look at the claims made about the Bible.

Story
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is an extraordinary thing to believe. Such a supernatural event is the stuff of make-believe, many think. Yet millions of Christians around the world believe that Jesus' resurrection was a real, historical event. Indeed, "if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith" and Christians are "of all people most to be pitied." (1 Corinthians 15). In this concise book, respected apologist Rebecca McLaughlin outlines the evidence that Jesus really did rise from the dead and why it's the best news ever.

Christians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive, and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation, homosexuality, gender identity, and transgender rights. In fact, for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity. Sam Allberry sets out God's good design for the expression of human sexuality, showing that God himself is love and that only he can satisfy our deepest desires. Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With? is a great reminder of the Bible's positive blueprint for love, sex, and marriage.

"In this house we believe that: Black Lives Matter, Love Is Love, Gay Rights Are Civil Rights, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights, Transgender Women Are Women". You may have seen signs with some of these messages in your neighborhood. They offer us an all-or-nothing package deal - in short, a secular creed. In this provocative audiobook, Rebecca McLaughlin helps us disentangle the beliefs Christians gladly affirm from those they cannot embrace, and invites us to talk with our neighbors about the things that matter most.

Story
For many Christians who've tried their hands at evangelism or have had to defend their faith, it can feel like doing PR work for God—limiting ourselves to a series of strategies and tactics. In The Faithful Apologist, Scott Oliphint provides a foundation for Christians to explain their faith in a welcoming manner that avoids any burden to "sell" Christianity to non-Christians. Drawing as much from the rich tradition of Western apologetics as from the wisdom of effective communication, this book bridges the gap between sharing the truth of our faith and the art of persuasion.

Gurry answer these questions and give listeners tools to interpret the evidence about God’s word.

Story
Guillaume Bignon was a French atheist . . . and he was perfectly happy. He was very successful as a software engineer in finance, a musician, and a volleyball player. Yet a chance encounter with a beautiful woman would change the way he thought about his life and beliefs forever. Confessions of a French Atheist is the unusual story of Guillaume Bignon - a man who didn't need God but who grew to believe in God after he thought through the nature of morality, the relationship between science and faith, the supernatural, and the reliability of the Bible.
Publisher's Summary
Wasn’t the South African apartheid supported by Christians? Weren’t the Crusades motivated by greed, but advocated by the church? Don’t phony television preachers manipulate viewers into donating money? And don’t these, and many more examples, mean Christianity doesn’t really work?
Navigating this area can be difficult and confusing. William Edgar, though, addresses these and other questions honestly, without attempting to dismiss or explain away their uncomfortable realities. He displays the good aspects of the church even more brilliantly through frankly and Biblically acknowledging the bad. If you have ever asked the question Does Christianity Really Work? this will be an interesting and enlightening read, whatever your prior convictions.
This is the second installment of The Big Ten: Critical Questions Answered - a Christian apologetics series which addresses 10 commonly asked questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Each book, while easy to read, is challenging and thought-provoking, dealing with subjects ranging from hell to science.
