A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles

Theology

“As a new Christian at the age of thirty-five, I struggled to see God’s involvement in the world around me. I had grown so accustomed to attributing everything to the forces of nature or the efforts of humans that I missed the obvious interaction of God. I so wish I had J. P. Moreland’s new book back then. A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles will help you recognize God’s handiwork in your own life, reenergize your prayer life, and renew your sense of awe and wonder. Don’t waste another day overlooking the miraculous, supernatural activity of God. Let J. P. show you what you may have been missing.”

A Student's Guide to Culture

“John Stonestreet and Brett Kunkle have created one of the most practical and insightful resources in helping this generation think Christianly amidst the chaos and undercurrent of a confusing culture.

I believe A Student’s Guide to Culture is a needed breath of fresh air, and I can’t wait to see its impact in churches, schools, and families.”

Christian Apologetics

Apologetics

“The work of Douglas Groothuis has been invaluable to me as a Christian believer and 'case maker.'

Wandering Toward God

Apologetics

“In my work as a detective, doubt has always been a useful tool, especially when interviewing witnesses and potential suspects. If you believe everything you hear, you're unlikely to push past the initial claims and discover the truth. Doubt can play a similar role in motivating our spiritual investigations. Travis Dickinson's new book, Wandering Toward God, captures the important role doubt can play in our faith journey. This book will change the way you consider doubt, grow your confidence and comfort as you examine your own spiritual hesitation, and provide ample reason to trust the claims of Christianity. Every seeker and believer who has wrestled with doubt should read this book.”
