This book provides a detailed, updated exposition and defense of five of the historically most important (but in recent years largely neglected) philosophical proofs of God’s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist. It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes—unity, simplicity, eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so forth—showing that they must be possessed by the God whose existence is demonstrated by the proofs.

He had science and an Ivy League pedigree―why did he need God? Immersed in his physics studies at Cornell, Tom Rudelius never thought much about God until his brother, a new convert to Christianity, challenged him to explore faith. To placate his twin, he reluctantly began exploring the Bible and the life of Jesus. Seeking proof of God’s existence, he found himself in a world of uncertainty, faced with plenty of reasons for both faith and doubt. In Chasing Proof, Finding Faith, Tom, now a rising young theoretical physicist, traces his journey to unexpected faith.

It's the most significant question of all time: Is there a God, or isn't there? In this compelling book, Ray Comfort argues the case with simple logic and common sense. If there is a God, surely he has made his presence known so that anyone, young or old, scholar or school child, can find him. By applying basic logic to three clear evidences for the existence of God, Comfort will help you examine the case for evolution, explore the facts that led the world's most notorious atheist to acknowledge a creator, and more.

Did Anselm, in his "Ontological Argument" (first advanced around 1070), make one of the greatest intellectual discoveries of all time, or did he merely fall into an interesting blunder? In his day, Anselm was criticized by Gaunilo. Subsequent philosophers have generally considered Gaunilo's criticisms to be weighty. Descartes' attempt to resuscitate Anselm's argument led to Kant's supposed refutation, which most later philosophers have considered to be fundamentally sound.

The book explores the profound role of prophecy across religions and cultures as a testament to divine omniscience, a source of spiritual guidance, and a catalyst for faith. Beginning with the nature of prophecy and its unique role in validating the divine authority of sacred texts, it delves into specific examples from major traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Each chapter highlights how prophecies—fulfilled and unfulfilled—serve as markers of divine intervention, offering hope, ethical direction, and reassurance in a transcendent plan.

Join me on a journey through scripture and history as I explore the evidence that giants once lived—not only in the Promised Land, but across the world, and even here in the heart of America. My research takes me deep into the ancient Ozarks, where the stories of unearthed remains and forgotten discoveries—like those documented by Reverend Sterling Newberry—may hold the key to proving that giants once roamed these hills.
