Before God's Face - The Discipline of Coram Deo
by Andy Daugherty
“At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His Presence.” – A.W. Tozer David was a man after God’s own heart. He slew Goliath, ruled Israel and wrote such inspiring scriptures as Psalm 139. Yet David had an affair with Bathsheba, breaking multiple commandments including having Bathsheba’s husband murdered. How can we guard our walk and prevent catastrophic mistakes like those that David made? How can we lead a life that bears the fruit of an effective faith? God’s Word realistically portrays authentic people of faith. Their true stories are preserved for us as teachable moments. Are we listening? Before God’s Face takes a practical approach drawing from Biblical stories and modern parallels to help us draw near to God as we learn the simple spiritual discipline of coram Deo – living in God’s presence. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord. (Psalm 89:15)

Counterargument for God
by John L. Leonard
When he tired of listening to the constant attacks on religion by prominent atheists in the media or academia, author John L. Leonard spent several years on a personal journey, investigating the scientific evidence that purportedly eliminated God from what he calls the Big Picture. This book is the product of that effort.
John began with modern Darwinism and biology, and then learned about the evidence found in chemistry for the origin of life as well as the physics required for the Big Bang. From that perspective he formed what he calls his Big Picture of how life, the universe, and sapient humans all came to exist.
After building a strong counterargument to any claim that science can exclude God from His creation, John offers a powerful defense of his Christian faith. Counterargument for God offers a comprehensive rebuttal to atheism, using logic, rational thought, and good, old-fashioned common sense.

Divine Evolution
by John L. Leonard
For as long as man has contemplated the origin of the universe and the life within it, the search for answers has led some to religion in pursuit of a Creator, and others believe that science, especially Darwinian natural selection has all the answers. Divine Evolution represents the author's attempt to reconcile the creationism account found in Genesis with the wealth of scientific evidence to explain life without supernaturally directed influence. Not confined purely to religious writings or scientific textbooks, this book explores contemporary scientific evidence in support of evolution and the religious, spiritual, psychological and personal sources of information that might provide answers to the great existential questions of "Who am I?" and "How did I get here?" Both atheists and religious people alike seek the answers to these questions. Rather than limiting the scope of the search to purely religious or purely secular sources, Divine Evolution presents an intriguing new perspective rationally developed after evaluating the physical evidence found in the fossil record, and more importantly what that evidence means. It also explores the psychological perspective of religious beliefs, and to see if any evidence exists in support for the supernatural.
