This book provides answers to those who claim that the King James Version is the only legitimate Word of God for English speaking people. This investigative work examines the allegations that the modern versions of the English Bible are aberrant, and that the translators had a conspiracy to corrupt the Scriptures to lead believers away from the Christian faith. This unique investigation is unlike any other apologetic for the Word of God, and will show the evidence that Christianity has an embarrassment of riches of ancient manuscript support. This book will help the reader to understand that since 1611 more manuscripts have been discovered to convince scholars that the early text of the New Testament is found in the Alexandrian text-type. This book will explore KJVO material that is replete with colossal illogical arguments of the indefensible King James Only position. The author has gone the extra mile to explore the background of the three main Greek New Testament Texts: the Textus Receptus, the Majority Text, and the Eclectic Text. The author is convinced that the rational conclusion is the "eclectic" approach to New Testament textual criticism in determining the IDENTITY OF THE TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

This handbook on Christian Apologetics is intended to be put into the hands of those who are unfamiliar with the subject. Apologetics is derived from the Greek word apologia which means “speaking in defense.” When discussing the subject of Apologetics Christians are not APOLOGIZING for their faith. Rather, Christians are called to give a defense for what they believe. I Peter 3:15-16 states, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed” (NKJV). This book contains 3 essays for beginners and will explore the basic foundations of Apologetics. As Christians, it is imperative that we are prepared to be able to defend our faith rationally and intelligently to a post-Christian culture that is in need of intelligent answers for WHY Christians believe WHAT they believe. This handbook will provide the necessary tools to equip you to be able to know and defend your belief in GOD as the creator, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the authenticity of the Scriptures, and will examine philosophically WHY it is more reasonable to believe than to be a skeptic.

This concise handbook is called PRACTICAL APOLOGETICS because it will give you a TOOLBOX of practical tools to use as you live your life, and seek to reach others for Christ and share your faith. We all the know the slogan "Knowledge Is Power" this has become a cultural truism. Here is another slogan that is "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Both of these slogans are true. Knowledge is power but it has to applied at the right time, in the right setting, and with the right people, in terms of using apologetics to advance the Kingdom of God in the lives of those who do not share the same Christian worldview that you have. This 200 page book is filled with facts, truths, principles, and wisdom that has come for having effectively worked with college and university students for over 20 years primarily at Michigan State University (1984-2004). Apologetics will only be a useful tool if you know "when" to get that tool out of your toolbox and apply your tool in the right situation. This takes skill and wisdom and you must have the proper heart towards people that you are practicing your apologetic “tools” with. This handbook is a MUST read for anyone who is serious about sharing their faith with others.

This clear and concise handbook on the historical development of Christian doctrine and theology will be brief concise and get to the "heart" of the important people and events that have shaped the history of the Church. This historical sketch will give you a snap shot of 2000 years exploring all of the leaders, events, and main churches that have emerged as a result of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of His people. The book is 35 chapters long, however, the author has written a short version that is a little more than a 100 pages. An easy read in a couple of sittings. “The church has unfolded in many forms, and no one single external form stands alone as the CORRECT visible expression. As the church settled in various geographical areas and as it penetrated through a variety of cultures, it found expression in multifaceted forms. Thus, the insistence that the church must exist in a single form is a denial not only of the richness of creation, but also of the complexities of the human response.” ― Robert Webber, Common Roots. “Church History is the record of God's gracious, wonderful and mighty deeds, showing how by his Spirit and Word he rules his Church and conquers the world.” ― Nils Forsander, Life Pictures
