Proof of Divine presents the journey of author Andrew Murtagh as he straddles the fence between faith and cynicism. Coming off autopilot in the race to the top of corporate America, he goes for an all-or-none look at the greatest story ever told. Blending his family's incredible stories of survival, faith, and hope--matched with his own walk from hockey player to coach to husband, father, and career man--he embarks on a five-year journey on the question of a greater meaning and critical investigation of theism and Christianity. Is there a God? Are science and faith mutually exclusive? Are all credible scientists atheists? How do the sciences' founding fathers and scientific thought leaders of the modern day weigh in on the matter? What is the state of the union with the origin of the universe and life? Is the Bible historically and archaeologically reliable? What of morality, purpose, and meaning? Who is the historical Jesus, and why Christianity? The graze of a bullet, a soldier surrounded, an armed robbery, and a fateful desert drive--Murtagh puts the faith of his youth to the ultimate test: the Proof of Divine.

I pray the readers will gain insights with these experiences and lessons that will ease the trials of their own walk as Christians. But the greatest knowledge I can pass on is we will be in Heaven with Jesus if we can learn to take up our cross and follow Him.----Jack Snyder Jack sees a need, and moves to meet it!

An updated and expanded edition of the gritty, challenging, and utterly captivating portait of the homeless crisis. Ever Wonder What it Would Be Like to Live Homeless? Mike Yankoski did more than just wonder. By his own choice, Mike's life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth repulsive overnight. With only a backpack, a sleeping bag and a guitar, Mike and his traveling companion, Sam, set out to experience life on the streets in six different cities—from Washington D.C. to San Diego— and they put themselves to the test. For more than five months the pair experienced firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection—and all of this by their own choice. They wanted to find out if their faith was real, if they could actually be the Christians they said they were apart from the comforts they’d always known…to discover first hand what it means to be homeless in America. What you encounter in these pages will radically alter how you see your world—and may even change your life.
