Many Christians believe we need to choose between fighting injustice and communicating the good news of Jesus Christ. But what if failing to speak the truth is ultimately the greatest injustice of all? If we truly believe the human heart is the source of injustice and the gospel is the only real solution, shouldn't sharing the gospel's transforming truth be our highest priority?
With his thoughtful, accessible style, Rice Broocks explores why knowing the gospel is, in fact, every person's greatest right-and therefore the greatest justice issue of our time.
Drawing on contemporary stories and rich historical sources, The Human Right:
answers the question, What is truth?
frames evangelism as a human rights issue,
explains why secularism lacks the foundation to ground human rights,
gives evidence for the existence of the human soul, and
describes how the Bible has shaped the modern world.
The Human Right urges us persuasively toward a renewed conviction that our ultimate calling is to proclaim the gospel-the only truth that has the power to change our world, to change us, from the inside out.
Did Jesus Really Exist?
The search for the historical Jesus continues to be headline news. Any speculative theory seems to get instant attention as the debate rages about His real identity and the claims made in His name. Did Jesus really exist? Is there real historical evidence that demonstrates that He lived and actually said and did the things the Gospels record? Is there any validity to the speculative claims that the Jesus story was a myth, borrowed from a variety of pagan cultures of the ancient world?
In this follow-up to the book God's Not Dead (that inspired the movie), Man, Myth, Messiah looks at the evidence for the historical Jesus and exposes the notions of skeptics that Jesus was a contrived figure of ancient mythology. It also looks at the reliability of the Gospel records as well as the evidence for the resurrection that validates His identity as the promised Messiah. Man, Myth, Messiah will be released concurrent to the God's Not Dead movie sequel, which will cover the same theme.
The goal of God’s Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty is straightforward: to help readers develop “a faith that is real and credible—and strong enough to help others find faith in God.” To that end, Rice Broocks outlines a roadmap that guides seekers to acknowledge the most basic truths of Christianity:
There is overwhelming and exciting evidence for God’s existence.
The God who exists is indeed the God of the Bible.
God has revealed his nature through his Son, Jesus Christ.
Persuasive arguments crafted with tools borrowed from logic, science, and philosophy, as well as scripture, solidify the faith of the Christian reader and provide starting points for discussions with skeptics. With clear, easy-to-follow explanations of key concepts and controversies, God’s Not Dead is apologetics for the twenty-first century, presented in layman’s terms. Readers will be empowered not only to talk about their own faith with confidence but to lead others to a relationship with Jesus.
