A 30-Minute Overview of Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels (Faith Blueprints)
by J. Warner WallaceYou&’re busy with work, family, and life; but with the new Faith Blueprints series from David C Cook, there is still time to learn from some of the world&’s best thinkers on the subjects of faith and culture. Faith Blueprints are executive summaries, designed to quickly and efficiently provide you with the main concepts and highlights from some of David C Cook&’s best books. These blueprints are most effective when used alongside the original book as a quick reference or outline, but they can also be used by themselves. Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a &“cold case&”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers&’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
A 30-Minute Overview of Union with Christ: The Way to Know and Enjoy God (Faith Blueprints)
by Rankin WilbourneYou&’re busy with work, family, and life; but with the new Faith Blueprints series from David C Cook, there is still time to learn from some of the world&’s best thinkers on the subjects of faith and culture. Faith Blueprints are executive summaries, designed to quickly and efficiently provide you with the main concepts and highlights from some of David C Cook&’s best books. These blueprints are most effective when used alongside the original book as a quick reference or outline, but they can also be used by themselves. To experience why the gospel is good news and answer life&’s most foundational questions about identity, destiny, and purpose, we must understand what it means to be united to Christ. If you are a Christian, the Bible says Christ has united his life to yours, that you are now in Christ and Christ is in you. This almost unfathomable truth is the central theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Yet few Christians today experience or enjoy this reality. Union with Christ reveals the transformational power of this ancient doctrine while addressing the basic questions of the human heart: Who Am I?Why Am I Here?Where Am I Headed?How Will I Get There? Nothing is more practical for living the Christian life than union with Christ. The recovery of this reality provides the anchor and engine for your life with God—for your destiny is not only to see Christ, but to actually become like him.
