What is the evidence for the resurrection? Christians take stock in the authority of the Bible, while atheists show nothing but scorn for the Bible. What other evidence do we have? We cannot turn the clock back 2000 years and turn a video camera on. We would have been pleased if Jesus had held a press conference with numerous press agencies, and courtroom artists had recorded the event. Instead we must investigate the records that do exist and infer the most reasonable conclusion. The Resurrection Really Happened presents an abundance of easy-to-understand evidence to substantiate the resurrection beyond a reasonable doubt.

Americans, and especially the younger generations, are turning away from Christianity in record numbers. If the attrition rate continues at its current rate, the Church will notice crippling declines in the all-too-near future. The fires of discontent of those falling away from the Christian faith are sometimes angry, hostile and vindictive, but at other times merely apathetic and confused. But all of them are disenchanted. The Fires of Discontent examines ten paradigms that illustrate the state of our culture, reveals the heat of unbelief in America, and suggests ways the Church can bring the Water of Life to bear on the burning unrest in our country.

The second section examines the self-contradictory philosophy of our day, Postmodernism. In addition to looking at the characteristics of the era, we examine how we got to this point, and where we can go from here.

"Growing A Youth Ministry" takes a biblical look at the nature and form of youth ministry, sharing the heart of God, creating a God-honoring environment, contributing to the transforming of personalities into the image of Jesus Christ by building relationships of influence.

"More Than Blind Faith" is a survey of key apologetics issues and persuasive answers, showing the adequacies of Christianity as a reasonable belief for thinking people. The book addresses the misinformation that is aimed at Christianity and brings clarity instead of distortion.

In one sense everything has changed since you were a kid, and in another sense everything is still the same. Since most parents really only get to see the reality show of adolescence in their own home, they can too easily think they’ve been bad parents or somehow blown it with their kids. Parents need to realize the trauma is just the normal course of adolescence, and that it’s often just a rough time of transition for kids and a harsh time of adjustment for parents. In this book, you’ll get the sense that kids are just kids, and parents need to hold their course through the metamorphosis that we now call Middle School.
