Overview

Do You Still Believe in Miracles: An Apologetic Expose by a Liberal, Bible-Believing, Evangelical Pastor is written from an insider’s perspective, reflecting on the teaching John Ruiz experienced in a liberal/post-modern/progressive seminary from 1993 to 1996. Ruiz explores these teachings and explains why predictable outcomes occur, exposing how the fruits of these teachings are currently being experienced in society, within some churches, and in the political world. As an alternative Ruiz presents a renewed orthodox understanding of the Christian faith and an invitation to welcome Jesus into the personal life adventure of the reader.
