Excerpt from Primer of Christian Evidence Christian Evidence describes the arguments which are employed in support of Christianity. It should be clearly understood, that, when Christians undertake to meet those who doubt, or resist, the claims which are made on behalf of Christianity, they do not assume that they can remove every difficulty which may be suggested; as that would be an assumption beyond the true modesty of those who remember the limitations of human faculties and the nature of the subject. Neither do they ignore the fact that opposition to the claims of religious truth may proceed from a state of mind which is itself the result of moral causes, and therefore to be chiefly removed by moral and spiritual means. But they address arguments to unbelievers, i.e. to those who demand them; as meeting them on their own ground. And they supply believers with the reasons which support their faith; that they may both believe more firmly, and resist the influence of objectors, whose words are sometimes artfully prepared to shake confidence, even where they cannot overthrow established positions. Particular and fragmentary objections to Christianity are common. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

While there are many books written about Christian discipleship, there are not nearly enough books on discipleship that primarily expound the Bible itself. The Apostle John wrote three letters, however, with the main purpose of helping disciples to grow. That You May Know: A Primer on Christian Discipleship is an enriching study that will lead you through John's teaching on following Jesus as a disciple. This book is more than a commentary and more than a topical book on the subject of Christian discipleship. Instead, this is a primer on Christian discipleship written as a careful reading of God's word in 1, 2 & 3 John. It's ideal for your own individual devotional reading or as a helpful resource for your group Bible study. What others are saying about That You May Know: "Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned saint, you will benefit greatly from reading this book. It does exactly what a Bible commentary should do--enlighten, encourage, and enrich--and it does so in a manner that is clear, wise, and practical." --Warren W. Wiersbe, Former Pastor of the Moody Church, Chicago, IL "Pastor Gerber marries thorough exegetical study with a loving pastoral tone in this very helpful primer on discipleship. He carries the reader along with him to a deeper understanding of the word of God, the promises God makes to his children, and what it means to be a disciples of Jesus." --Parker Johnson, Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Brewton, AL

How true can Christianity really be? In a culture where religion and "real life" often occur in completely different times and places, the question troubles many Christians. How can we give the reason for the hope that we have amid the many voices telling us that Christianity might be helpful or interesting, but not really "true" for anyone except Christians? Why should we ourselves bother with a religion so insubstantial that it is only legitimate within our own minds? People with real sins require a real savior, not merely inspiring stories and advice on how to live. As Though It Were Actually True provides Christians with an introduction to the age-old practice of apologetics--the rational defense of Christianity as objective truth. It explores some of the most important issues on which the Church finds itself in conflict with today's culture through a combination of critical reasoning, evidence, and the law written on our hearts. By providing a philosophical foundation that is reasonable, a historical foundation that is factual, and a theological foundation that is biblical, this book will help equip Christians to contend for their faith against the shallow and deceptive philosophies that seek to undermine it.
