A great book for anyone who is looking for some answers to the common objections to Christianity. McFarland does a great job of presenting the questions and giving solid information for the answers. Whether you are seeking and want some answers or you are a Christian and want to know more, this is a great book.


742980: The 10 Most Common Objections to Christianity The 10 Most Common Objections to Christianity

By Alex McFarland


Believers have a biblical mandate to share their faith with a dying world, yet many don't know the answers to even the most basic questions unbelievers ask-and most of us don't have time for a theology degree! Alex McFarland provides an apologetics primer that will have answers to even the toughest objections to Christianity.

Expelled - Great video

Expelled! What a great name for Ben Stein's expose about the corruption in educational and governmental institutions with regard to free thinking. It is all too true that freedom of thinking ends when we consider intelligent design or creation. Then society shuts you down and expels you from their systems.

A great view. Highly recommend for everyone!

Prodigal God

I have grown to really appreciate the work that God has been doing through Tim Keller. This book is such a great challenge to us as Christians as to better understand a very important teaching of Jesus and the critical nature of our relationship with God.

Tim gives us a fresh look into the parable we commonly refer to as the "Prodigal Son". A fresh point of view and a solid reminder of the importance of our relationship with the Father. We so often focus on the mess the younger son is in and neglect the works based selfish attitude of the older son.

I more than recommend this book to all Christians. I consider it an essential read, especially for leaders.

Press on!
