    Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the GospelsCold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels
    by J. Warner Wallace
    Still free? Click Here to find out!

    Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator.

    Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.

    A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

    Letters to Heaven: Reaching Across to the Great Beyond – Save $12

    Letters to Heaven: Reaching Across to the Great BeyondLetters to Heaven: Reaching Across to the Great Beyond by Calvin Miller

    In these masterfully written letters to heaven, Calvin Miller thanks, lovingly reflects on – and sometimes confesses his regrets to – the departed influences in his life. Some are names familiar to us all (C. S. Lewis, Todd Beamer, Oscar Wilde); others he knew well; and some he only admired from a distance. But all brought a brightness to his life or challenged him to live more fully in some way. Aware that eternity for any of us is only a step away, Miller has sought to complete the unfinished business of life by writing letters to the great beyond. This moving work will not only elicit a desire in readers to reconcile all things unfinished, but teach the living about the importance of people and the treasure of faith while holding out for us all the hope that awaits.

    Rick Denton lives his life on his terms. He works hard, plays hard, and answers to no one. So when his mother calls on Thanksgiving weekend begging him to come home after his stepfather has a stroke, Rick is more than a little reluctant. He’s never liked Art and resents the man’s presence in his life, despite the fact that his own father abandoned the family when Rick was just twelve. When what was supposed to be just a couple days helping out at the family bookstore turns into weeks of cashing out old ladies and running off the homeless man who keep hanging about, Rick’s attitude sours even more.

    Still, slowly but surely, the little bookstore and its quirky patrons – as well as the lovely young woman who works at his side each day – work their magic on him, revealing to Rick the truth about his family, his own life, and the true meaning of Christmas. With skillful storytelling, Dan Walsh creates a Christmas story will have readers remembering every good and perfect gift of Christmas.

    Gifted Hands 20th Anniversary Edition: The Ben Carson Story

    Gifted Hands 20th Anniversary Edition: The Ben Carson StoryGifted Hands 20th Anniversary Edition: The Ben Carson Story by Ben Carson M.D.

    In 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head. Carson pioneered again in a rare procedure known as a hemispherectomy, giving children without hope a second chance at life through a daring operation in which he literally removes one half of their brain.

    Such breakthroughs aren’t unusual for Ben Carson. He’s been beating the odds since he was a child.

    Raised in inner-city Detroit by a mother with a third grade education, Ben lacked motivation. He had terrible grades. And a pathological temper threatened to put him in jail.

    But Sonya Carson convinced her son he could make something of his life, even though everything around him said otherwise. Trust in God, a relentless belief in his own capabilities, and sheer determination catapulted Ben from failing grades to the directorship of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

    Gifted Hands takes you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world – and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others.
