The first is the
reliability of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible and of the Old
Testament, and most specifically its teachings about divine creation. That
relates to the issue of science and the Bible in general.
The second subject is
the reliability of the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament of the
Holy Bible, and most specifically their claims about the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.
There is much
contention about these two issues. This book will explain and defend the
Biblical position on each.
The first, divine
creation, is in contrast to atheistic evolution. These two beliefs about the
origins of the universe and of humanity are inherently contradictory, and there
are dramatic and differing implications from each belief system. As such, a
study of them is crucial in deciding upon one’s worldview.
The second, the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Upon
it, all other Christian doctrines stand, and without it, there is no Christian
faith. The evidence for the resurrection and related issues will be addressed in
this book.
The preceding leads to
the third subject of this book, “Forgiveness and Salvation in Christ.” Since God
is our Creator, we are answerable to Him. And we have all sinned against Him.
But Jesus’ resurrection demonstrated that God accepted Christ’s death as a
sufficient sacrifice for our sins. We can thus be forgiven and saved by trusting
in His death and resurrection.
Together, these three
sections make this book ideal for evangelism. It will show seekers and doubters
there are answers to their questions on these subjects and their need for
salvation. Contents

Pictures
There are a handful of
pictures in the paperback, hardback, and Acrobat Reader (PDF) versions of this
book. However, it was not possible to incorporate these pictures into the Kindle
versions of the book. I am not sure if they appear in the ePUB versions. It
probably depends on the reader being used. But for the sake of readers unable to
view the pictures, below are the three most important of these pictures.
The first is of the
evolutionary “Tree of Life.” The second is of the creationist “Orchard of Life.”
The book explains these two very different viewpoints on the development of the
variety of life on earth and why they are incompatible. The third picture
appears twice in the book. These fraternal biracial twins illustrate very
important points that are explained in the book. Click any picture for a larger
