The Genesis Factor: Probing Life's Big Questions
- Authors: Jon M. Dennis and David R. Helm
- Publisher: Crossway Books
- Publication Date: 2001
- Pages: 116
Here is a book for all who have a healthy uncertainty about life’s big questions—Where did I come from? Is there a God? Does this God care about me? The authors believe that the answers are found where Christianity began—with the introduction of God and His work in the book of Genesis. Using the Socratic method, they challenge readers to wrestle with Scripture itself rather than with systematic questions. This candid conversation with Genesis is an ideal apologetic for today’s postmodern culture.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
- Author: Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek
- Publisher: Crossway
- Publication Date: 2004
- Pages: 448
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist argues that Christianity requires the least faith of all worldviews because it is the most reasonable. The authors lay out the evidence for truth, God, and the Bible in logical order and in a readable, non-technical, engaging style. A valuable aid to those interested in examining the reasonableness of the Christian faith, Geisler and Turek provide a firm challenge to the prior beliefs of doubters and skeptics.

He has since taught Bible, Apologetics, and Philosophy at Detroit Bible College, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Dallas Theological Seminary, and was Dean of Liberty Center for Research and Scholarship in Lynchburg, VA.

In addition to this volume by Geisler, Logos also offers A General Introduction to the Bible as well as the books in The Norman L. Geisler Apologetics Library and Norman L. Geisler’s Systematic Theology (4 vols.). And don't forget the 14 volume Norman L. Geisler Collection.
