Forensic Faith – A new book from J. Warner Wallace

Posted on June 25, 2017 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

Forensic Faith

If you are at all interested in learning to present the claims of Christ to others, this is a book that would be worth reading. Wallace’s writing style is engaging and he presents concepts clearly. I also like that whenever he uses a technical term, he includes a side bar explaining the term.

Cold Case Christianity for Kids book cover

I was recently sent a copy of Cold-Case Christianity for Kids by J. Warner Wallace and Susie Wallace. I have previously reviewed (and recommended) two of Wallace’s earlier works, Cold-Case Christianity and God’s Crime Scene so I knew going in that I was likely to enjoy this book also.

God’s Crime Scene – Book Endorsement

Posted on October 11, 2015 Written by Mark McIntyre 1 Comment

God's Crime Scene

God’s Crime Scene is a book that I know I will re-read and refer to as part of my apologetics library. If you have any interest at all in knowing where the evidence point with regard to the beginning of the universe, I strongly recommend that you pick up a copy of this book.

Heavenly Minded

Heavenly minded or no good at all

I have heard it said that a person could be so Heavenly minded that he is of no Earthly good. Perhaps it is only me, but I find that I am in greater danger of becoming so Earthly minded that I am no good at all.

Tiberius Bust

No king but Caesar?

Before we are quick to look down on the Jewish leaders we should stop to think about why this story is important enough to be in the Bible. It is important that it is in there because we are made of the same stuff and will fall into the same traps if left to ourselves.

Grace

5 Marks of a grace based church

In responding to the question, “how can you identify a grace based church?” I came up with 5 identifying marks of such a church. See if you agree with these and add your own in the comments section.

After we repent of our pride, we can then seek to be used by God to assist others in drawing into deeper relationship with Jesus.

Along the right paths

One of the advantages of reading a different version of the Bible, one that you are not familiar with, is that a different reading can trigger an insight that you never saw before. This happened to me this morning as I read Psalm 23 in the Christian Standard Bible. In that translation the verse 3 […]
