Why Did I Write This Book? If Jesus was resurrected with a new body after death, this is easily the single most central fact and event in all history - past, present or future. Quite simply, it is a matter of life or death leading each person to decide whether our earthly life – • will have been but a “vanishing mist,” with nothing thereafter; or • is a mere passageway – like passing through a foreign country before returning to our native land - in this case, God’s Kingdom and Eternity! Should one choose to not believe that Jesus was resurrected – read on – because fact is fact, truth is truth and non-belief erases neither. Whether seeker, agnostic, atheist, skeptic, young or old, this book will present facts and evidence you may have never read or considered. These facts and the evidence are not assembled by a theologian, but rather by an experienced Trial Lawyer, and are such that will convince any lay jury beyond any reasonable doubt that Jesus was the first resurrection – to be followed by all of His followers. In this ever-increasingly evil world, it is our young people - our precious children and grandchildren - that are at greatest risk, and perhaps this includes you or one you love. In addition to the above, why did we write this book? How could we not! As water must flow over a waterfall, so must God’s and His children’s love and desire for none to perish flow over all, including - • our children and grandchildren, • our neighbors; • the lost; and finally • YOU and yours! Remember, there is only one person ever born who has proclaimed “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” (Jesus at Jn. 14:6.) Please, elect, nay seize this Eternal L ife for yourself!

With over 40 million books sold, bestselling author Josh McDowell is no stranger to creatively presenting biblical truth. Now, partnering with fellow apologist Dave Sterrett, Josh introduces a new series targeted at the intersection of story and truth. The Coffee House Chronicles are short, easily devoured novellas aimed at answering prevalent spiritual questions. Each book in the series tackles a long-contested question of the faith, and then answer these questions with truth through relationships and dialogue in each story. In Did the Resurrection Happen, Really?: A Dialogue on Life, Death, and Hope, the college campus is rocked by a shooting spree that leaves nine students dead. Their up-close experience with mortality allies the coffee house discussion group together to really wrestle with the spiritual and eternal ramifications of whether or not Jesus rose from the dead. The other two books in the series: Is the Bible True, Really? and Who is Jesus, Really? continue the unfolding story at the college campus and the coffee house down the road.

Is there enough evidence to believe Jesus rose from the dead, or must such a judgment be based only on faith? Can the resurrection story be considered a fact of history, or should it be viewed as an ahistorical account? Two renowned professors, atheist Carl Stecher and Christian Craig Blomberg, engage in a groundbreaking new debate on these very questions. Other experts on the resurrection, atheist Richard Carrier and Christian Peter S. Williams, comment on the outcome. Presenting new approaches to these centuries-old questions and taking into account the latest scholarly research, Resurrection: Faith or Fact? is a must-have not only for all those following the resurrection question—but also for those skeptics and Christians alike who are interested in determining for themselves the truth behind this foundational doctrine of the Christian faith.

When Jesus died on the cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man's tomb, Jesus appeared...alive! The news was so shocking that his followers refused to believe it until they saw him with their own eyes and touched his wounds with their own hands. Then Jesus made an amazing claim: In the future, they too would have resurrected bodies like his, bodies that would never deteriorate, age, or perish. They would have new life without death or pain in the presence of a loving God forever. But can we really believe His promise? For that matter, can we really believe that the promise was made by a man who rose from the dead? In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean examine the compelling evidence and conclude that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave. In clear, concise, and accessible chapters, Josh and Sean present the facts about the resurrection and what it means for readers today.
