Evidence for Jesus: Timeless Answers for Tough Questions about Christ

"Quick answers to tough questions about Jesus' life, ministry, and divinity. Is there archeological proof that Jesus existed? Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God? Is Jesus really the only way? There's a good chance that every Christian will be asked tough questions like these at some point in their lives, whether from combative skeptics, curious seekers, or even doubts in their own minds. To help followers of Christ answer questions quickly and confidently, Josh and Sean McDowell adapted the wisdom from their apologetics classic Evidence That Demands a Verdict into an accessible resource that provides answers to common questions about Jesus. Evidence for Jesus answers these questions and more: - Is there evidence that Jesus was real? - Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God? - What makes Jesus unique from other religious figures? - Is Christianity a copycat religion? - What does the Old Testament teach about the coming Messiah? - Did Jesus really rise from the dead? - Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter? Evidence for Jesus will equip brand new believers and lifelong Christians alike with time-tested rebuttals to defend their faith in Jesus against even the harshest critics. Accompanying tables are included in the audiobook companion PDF download."

How to Know God Exists: Solid Reasons to Believe in God, Discover Truth, and Find Meaning in Your Li

"Three questions are etched into everyone's subconscious: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Josh McDowell and Thomas Williams team up to show why nothing short of God answers these questions. But the problem is that in today's secularized culture, God has largely been banished. How to Know God Exists explores in depth solid reasons for believing in God and restoring him to his rightful place in our lives. Josh McDowell is widely known for his powerful defenses of God based on historical and biblical evidences. In this book he and Thomas take a new direction and present often-unexplored but formidable evidences based on sheer reason, observable reality, and solid science. They show that belief in God is not the blind, unthinking, and intellectually indefensible fancy today's secularism makes it out to be. How to Know God Exists will: - Offer rational defenses for the existence of God, truth, morality, meaning, and reason - Open vistas of beauty and joy denied to readers by the sterility of secularism - Use reason, logic, experience, and common sense to show that God offers the truth required to make sense of reality and bring meaning and joy to life By reason and common sense, How to Know God Exists shows that meaning itself is rooted in the existence of God."
