Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

“Why are Christians against same-sex people getting married? . . . Why do you believe God exists at all? . . . Why would God allow evil and suffering? . . . Why trust the Bible when it’s full of mistakes? . . . How could a loving God send people to hell? . . . What makes you think Jesus was more than just a good teacher? . . . Why are Christians so judgmental?” Some questions can stop a conversation. Today, more than ever, people are raising difficult, penetrating questions about faith, God, and the Bible. Based on an exclusive new Barna survey of 1,000 Christians, The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask presents compelling, easy-to-grasp answers to ten of the most troubling questions facing Christians today. These include everything from the existence of heaven to the issues of abortion and homosexuality, as well as the question of whether evolution eliminates our need for a God.

Our Lord Jesus said to us (Mat.21:22) And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. He said this again, (Mar.9:23) All things are possible to him that believeth. And here, (Mar. 11:24) All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Because of our lack of experience we find it hard to wrap our carnal mind around Jesus’ sayings that all things are available to those who come to him with childlike faith. This is why it is so important that we share our experiences with each other. We can stretch our "possibility thinking" when we hear that our great God still uses frail human believers to do "all things.” He repeats it in (Mat.8:13) as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee, and in (Mat.9:29) According to your faith be it done unto you. So be careful that you only believe the Word because (Rev.21:5) these words are faithful and true.
