ApologeticsWhen evangelism seems or gets hard, we are called to remember what God did for us. This talk brings a very Jewish perspective, holocaust stories, and reminds people that Jesus called us to remember from the beginning of creation.

Preaching & Teaching“David Shapiro offers a distinctive and compelling voice as a Jew who has found good and sufficient reasons to believe in Jesus. In this book, he builds a sweeping intellectual case for faith in God through creation, science, and the moral law, through the reliability of Scripture, and through the grand gospel story fulfilled in Jesus as Messiah, Savior, and Lord, the One toward whom all of history has been moving. Read this book and be strengthened in your confidence that the biblical testimony is true and worthy of belief. —Dr. Jana Harmon, Senior Fellow C. S. Lewis Institute”
