CHRISTIANS HAVE QUESTIONS about so many issues today that pastors and Bible teachers can't sufficiently address them all at precisely the time an answer is needed. 5 Answers will give Christians a basic biblical perspective on some of these common issues, and it will provide any serious Bible student with ample resources for further research. Nathan is a faithful pastor and an excellent teacher. As a man who is truly interested in following God, he recognizes the importance of knowing and understanding what God has said. In this book he tackles five difficult questions, and skillfully guides us to biblically based answers. John Turpin, Author of the book Victorious Faith 5 Answers would be a useful tool for a pastor to give someone who has questions and wants to find answers through personal Bible study or in a small group setting. When I was younger in the faith I sought resources like this to help me nail down precisely what I believed. It is an easy, yet informative read. Jimmy Hazlett, Worship Pastor at New Hope Baptist Church in Moreland, KY Many Christians struggle and are in search of answers to tough questions in the Holy Scriptures. Nathan Garnett has made your research easier by dealing with the most problematic areas of biblical truth. Darrell H. Hahn, Hospice Chaplain Pastors and seminary students want our work, even our academic writing, to be beneficial to our own souls and also to our churches and families. Unfortunately, much of our academic work usually provides little direct benefit to those whom we care about the most. To resolve this deficiency, Nathan has re-cast the produce of some of his best research into a more user-friendly format. Hes done this mainly with his family and church in his mind and on his heart. I think hes done us all a great service in the process. Chris Wilson, Pastor of Payneville Baptist Church in Payneville, KY

“I believe that the Bible speaks not merely to personal, family, and church issues, but to national, community, and governmental issues if we would take the time to listen.” –James L. Garlow Conservative Christians admit that they do not speak out on political or cultural issues because they do not know how to support their beliefs from a biblical basis, according to a recent poll. Instead, they remain silent on critical issues like marriage, racism, and transgender issues because they feel uninformed and ill-equipped to defend their beliefs. New York Times bestselling author and pastor James L. Garlow offers the solution—a practical, biblical guide for the 21st century Christian.

To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.

Are Miraculous Gifts for Today? takes you to the heart of one of the most dividing questions in the Church today: how are the Holy Spirit’s miracles at work among God's people now? Is he still actively giving the gifts of tongues, prophecy, and healing that fill the book of Acts? Is he driving out demons when Christians command them to flee? Or are these events confined to the time of the early church and the apostles? This volume of the Counterpoints series provides an impartial format for comparing the four main positions on present-day miracles (including the history and distinctions between the three positions that affirm miraculous gifts) with voice also given to a large sector of open-but-cautious evangelicals: Cessationist: there are no miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit today. Pentecostal: gifts are intended for today, with certain nuances focused on baptism and speaking in tongues. Charismatic: gifts are intended for today and should be actively practiced. Third Wave: gifts are intended for today, with greater emphasis on baptism and less on tongues. This thought-provoking book will help Christians on every side of the miraculous gifts debate to better understand their own position and the positions of others. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
