God's Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty

by Rice Broocks

Overview

The evidence behind the hit movie! God’s Not Dead is apologetics for the twenty-first century, presented in clear and easy-to-follow terms. Learn to defend your faith in a world that’s determined to tear it down.

The goal of God’s Not Dead is straightforward: to help readers develop a faith that is real and credible—and strong enough to help others find faith in God. Author Rice Broocks outlines a roadmap that guides seekers to acknowledge the most basic truths of Christianity:

• There is overwhelming and exciting evidence for God’s existence
• The God who exists is indeed the God of the Bible
• God has revealed his nature through his Son, Jesus Christ

As shown during the movie, this is the original book on which the main character bases much of his debate points with his atheistic professor. It contains persuasive arguments crafted with tools borrowed from logic, science, philosophy, and scripture that will solidify your faith and provide starting points for discussions with skeptics.

With clear, easy-to-follow explanations of key concepts and controversies, God’s Not Dead is modern apologetics presented in layman’s terms. You will be empowered not only to talk about your own faith with confidence, but to lead others to a relationship with Jesus.
