What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically.

With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide listeners through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God.

Happiness is a constant pursuit. Our bookshelves can testify. They overflow with self-help resources from a variety of perspectives, each insisting it holds the secret to this deeply human desire. Secular options offer psychological insights but fail to recognize that true satisfaction is only found in Christ, while Christian resources may offer pastoral theology but can lack practical, science-backed guidance for the everyday believer.

The grace of Jesus, free and everlasting, isn't diminished by iniquity but is inclined toward the afflicted. The Savior, who was tempted but never sinned, shows tender affection for sinners. And in the book of John, when Jesus spoke of his coming ascension to heaven, he didn't focus on his own glory; he promised to remain close to believers, interceding for them from heaven.

In this classic essay, which has been edited and updated for a modern audience, theologian Stephen Charnock explains the doctrine of immutability.

Every position of power—in homes, churches, and boardrooms—has the potential to strengthen people or to harm them. Bad leaders abuse their authority or abdicate it.
