Nothing Else Matters

When you hear that nothing else matters, what do you think of? I can think of a few things, to be honest, but Lutheran author & apologist Nancy A. Almodovar has written another book to answer precisely that question: Nothing Else Matters: How the Resurrection of Jesus Changes Everything.

Apologetic Opportunism

You may have noticed by now that I get a number of release tips from Bryan Wolfmueller’s Wednesday What-Not emails. I’ll admit it. One book he mentioned at some point in the not-do-distant past is Apologetic Opportunism by Lutheran author, Rev. Brian Flamme.

Called to Defend: An Apologetics Handbook for the Middle School Student

I haven’t read it. I haven’t seen it, but I very much love the idea and so far all reviews are very positive. One review, in particular, I see is from Dr. Angus Menuge, who I trust as a Lutheran and scholar.

Scrooge! Ba Humbug!

New find from a Lutheran novelist and it looks amazing! Scrooge and the Question of God’s Existence, written by Steve Luhring, is about doubts about God and the Christian faith. It presents the marvelous scenario, “What would happen if Scrooge’s Christmas ghosts had given time and attention to addressing the existence of God, suffering, and purpose?” It uses a holiday classic as a forum to ponder common apologetic concerns!
