The name Josh McDowell promises real-life, on-the-street Christian apologetics. In his first Harvest House book, Josh joins his son Sean to draw on his life’s work and comprehensively address a vital issue: why an entire generation of young Christians—and millions of older believers—is confused about what they believe, why they believe it, and how it’s relevant. The Unshakable Truth is uniquely positioned for younger Christians because it presents apologetics relationally, focusing on how Christianity’s doctrines affect relationships. The authors... ground every assertion in the overarching story of creation, incarnation, and re-creation. distill 12 crucial “faith statements”—for example, “A personal Creator God exists.” explain why each statement is trustworthy, how it applies to real life, and—using examples, stories, and experiences—what its relevance is. A spiritual gold mine for parents, youth workers, pastors—anyone wanting to reveal Christianity’s relevance to today’s life and culture.

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Light it up! When you open a window, something has to either exit from or enter into that room. Whether it be the air we breathe coming in or the tantalizing scent from a freshly baked dessert that wafts out into the neighbourhood, a transition takes place. Books are the windows of the world. They allow information to enter our minds, or they allow our imagination to exit and travel to a different place; a transition takes place. Open one and you enter a place of discovery that you hadnt before thought about or you did think about but didnt take the leap. Consider the following conversation: I dont know why they said that, why they did that, why they think in that manner, what possessed them. I just dont understand; I just cant figure people out. Whats the motivation? Whats motivating me? If youre that person carrying on that conversation in your mind or sharing it with someone, then open the book and turn the pages. The answer to those questions always begin in the spiritual realm, but in order to perceive that, you must realize and understand that you are part spirit. That spirit is housed in a remarkably created body. And you can realize some of the answers (were not omniscient) as you grow in awareness and knowledge of that spirit within.
