“Life After Death: The Evidence” is an interesting and informative book.
Dinesh D’Souza does NOT use the Bible to prove life after death. Instead, he challenges the atheist on his own grounds, science and philosophy.
But this is no “Christian rant” against atheism either. The book is written in a thoughtful and polite style. However it [...]

It was one of those reads that sneaks up on you then kicks you right where you sit down—but in a good and positive way.

One hot book! This book brings the data to support a New Testament model for training and multiplying church leaders.
