FaithSearch Discovery
An excellent review of the validity of the Bible and of Christian faith.

This presentation has given me answers to some of the questions I've been asked before that I didn't know quite how to answer. Awesome job!

Surprised by Faith book
Don Bierle's outstanding book, Surprised by Faith, is nothing less than the crowning achievement of his life's work. In it, he summarizes the powerful reasons why an intelligent faith in Christ is the most reasonable response to the historical evidence supporting the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This is a book that should be read by every thinking person who has ever wondered about great questions of the human experience.

Surprised by Faith book
Surprised by Faith has been a "go to" book for me. I have shared it with many people exploring faith or asking great questions about God, faith, and the Bible. I have also had opportunity to walk a number of people through it and have seen God change lives. I recommend it highly.

I have appreciated your teaching. (I have already begun using it to answer the questions of my daugher.) Thank you! Your teaching is well-organized and clear, and full of insights I needed to be reminded of. I was challenged to share my faith with boldness, equipped to defend my beliefs. Again, thank you!

Surprised by Faith book
Don Bierle's book Surprised by Faith has proven itself to be a great tool at enlightening and reinforcing Christian beliefs. To know what a person believes is a good first step in the journey of Christian faith. To know why a person believes what he or she believes is the all-important next step which solidifies a person's faith. In his book Surprised by Faith, Don Bierle gives historical, archaeological, and scientific facts that aid the inquiring mind in discerning "why" to believe "what" they believe. I heartily recommend his book.

I've heard many times from people that all religion is simply what you've been taught; and [that] you can't really know if what you've been taught is any more valid than what anyone else has been taught. You have clearly presented evidence (historical) which supports the Scriptural truth.

FaithSearch Discovery
You teach really clearly. I found some of the facts sticking without my making an effort to memorize them. I'll confess I was skeptical about the apologist we were going to have, but you were awesome. I learned a lot. I'm challenged. God bless you!

Sunday eve I "forced" our ninth-grade son to come, and he did—kicking and screaming. He asked to come back Monday night because he found it so interesting. Our eighteen-year-old son also came and was fascinated. Thank you so much for your message. I wish we could have had more time.

Answered Prayer
Thanks for what you do. I just received the free DVD with my donor receipt letter. It was truly an answer to prayer. I have felt a pull during my prayer time to engage more with those in my family who do not know Christ. I went to the mail and there was my free DVD. I was so thankful and just wanted to let you know. I will check online for the offers that are available in April that may help in my discussions.
