When God Whispers Your Name - Audiobook on Cassette
By Max Lucado

So listen as you read about such things as a devoted apostle - alone, broke, worn out, but still listening, a quiet, unassuming man snow-bound in a church without a preacher, without a sermon, but hearing a voice that urges him to speak, and a displaced brother who knows the grace in giving grace. You can hear the Father... whispering your name...erasing your doubts, your sorrow, your despair. 2 cassettes. 180 minutes.

The Case for a Creator, Student Edition
By Lee Strobel with Jane Vogel / Zondervan Youth Specialties

Since then, however, incredible scientific discoveries have not only helped restore Lee's faith, but have strengthened it. Lee is not alone. More and more scientists, confronted with startling, cutting-edge evidence from many areas of research, no longer believe the universe just happened or that life arose by mere chance. Behind a universe of staggering complexity, they are seeing signs of a Master Designer. Are your science textbooks still telling you the same "facts" that Lee's did nearly forty years ago? Get Current! And prepare to be astonished by what some of today's most respected experts have to say about: - The birth of the universe
- Darwinism and the origin of life
- The astounding fine-tuning of the cosmos
- Amazing molecular machines and DNA research
Weigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question: "Could it be that the universe looks designed because it is designed?" This is not the full, original version of The Case for A Creator but contains excerpts.

The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus
By Lee Strobel / Zondervan
When Lee Strobel's wife became a Christian, he found that the positive changes in her were too noticeable to ignore. Since he had a law background (Yale Law School), and was an investigative reporter, Strobel decided to subject the claims of Christianity to the type of scrutiny he used in reporting on legal cases for a major newspaper. The result: The Case for Christ, a book which chronicles Strobel's journey from atheist to Christian, and offers a compelling argument for the veracity of the Christian faith.
To answer his questions, Strobel decided to seek out the experts. He was hoping to learn whether the evidence we have about Jesus in the Bible was reliable and accurate. He picked the brains of the following thirteen experts: Dr. Craig Blomberg (eyewitness evidence); Dr. Bruce Metzger (documentary evidence); Dr. Edwin Yamauchi (corroborating evidence); Dr. John McRay (scientific/archaeological evidence); Dr. Gregory Boyd (rebuttal evidence); Dr. Ben Witherington III (identity evidence); Dr. Gary Collins (psychological evidence); Dr. D.A. Carson (profile evidence); Louis Lapides, M.Div., Th.M. (fingerprint evidence); Dr. Alexander Metherell (medical evidence); Dr. William Lane Craig (evidence of the missing body); Dr. Gary Habermas (evidence of appearances); Dr. J.P. Moreland (circumstantial evidence).
After having all his questions answered, Strobel pulls the evidence together and presents the verdict. Not surprisingly, the verdict, based on legal rules for evidence, pointed to Jesus being exactly who the Bible says he is. The evidence overwhelmingly points to Jesus being the son of God, who died on the cross and rose three days later. So if you have questions about the truth of the Christian claims, or know someone who does, this book is the best place to start. Written by someone who knew which questions to ask (because he had them too), this book presents logical, rational answers that can help.

The Case for Christ, Student Edition
By Lee Strobel / Zondervan
Who was Jesus? A good man? A lunatic? God? There's little question that he actually lived. But miracles? Rising form the dead?Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that--stories. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he's the only way to God! But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. That's why Lee Strobel--an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions--decided to investigate Jesus for himself. As an atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity's clear claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards. He was in for the surprise of his life. Join him as he retraced his journey from skepticism to faith. You'll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths of history, science psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Like Strobel, you'll be amazed at the evidence--how strong it is, and what it says. The facts are in. What will be your verdict in The Case for Christ?

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
By Norman L. Geisler / Crossway Books & Bibles
Faith is a necessary element of all worldviews, and, as atheism is definitely a worldview, it necessarily requires faith to be an atheist. Oddly enough, the atheist belief system requires more assent to seemingly unbelievable tenets than Christianity does. Arguing that Christianity contains the least amount of essential but incredible features, Geisler shows interested readers how few things Christians actually need to take 'on faith' compared to other religions and beliefs. Geisler writes with clarity, wit and wisdom to bridge the imaginary hurdle of the impossibility of Christian belief.
