Reviews
"I love this book! What sets it apart is its exceptional blend of user-friendliness and information density. It's like having a comprehensive apologetics library squeezed into one visually stunning volume. The book features striking charts, concise summaries, and clever acronyms that make even the most complex concepts easy to digest. Highly recommended!"

"I have more than 75 different books on apologetics in my personal library, but I have never had one as accessible as A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics. Our world is becoming increasingly visual and the need to buttress truth concepts visually is imperative. Finally, we have a resource that will help us quickly grasp as well as communicate truth to skeptics and seekers. This book is a welcomed gem!"
-Skip Heitzig, pastor-teacher of Calvary Church, Albuquerque, NM; author of The Bible from 30,000 Feet
"This valuable guide-filled with concise and comprehensive apologetics charts-will no doubt help produce great fruit for the kingdom! By using everyday language for the everyday apologist, along with an engaging layout design, it promises to equip all ages of believers with evidence and reasons for the Christian faith. Keep this book at your fingertips, such as beside your computer or in your car. Then you will always be ready to give an effective answer for the hope that is in you, with the ultimate goal of leading unbelievers to the cross."
-Marilyn Joy Tyner, founder of TRUE-WAY TRACTS and author, blogger, and conference speaker
"It is an honor to write an endorsement for A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics. This is an imaginative way to set forth the various aspects of apologetics and the philosophical and methodological viewpoints of biblical apologetics. Anyone who desires easy-to-understand charts to grasp the nature and process of apologetics needs to look no further."
-H. Wayne House (ThD, JD, PhD), Distinguished Research Professor of Theology, Law, and;Culture, Faith International University and Seminary
"Joe and Sarah have a wonderful gift for making complicated issues easy to understand-this is a great tool for defending the faith. I highly recommend A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics!"
-Don Stewart, Christian speaker and apologist, author of more than 70 books
"Because our age is awash with information, we need to get to the heart of things quickly. This book does just that for the field of apologetics. I'm blown away by the breadth of this book, which touches on so many important ideas within Christian apologetics. Granted, as an infographic resource, it cannot go deeply into any one topic. But to those who want to go deeper, it provides a wonderful springboard."
-William A. Dembski (PhD, PhD, MDiv), Founding and Senior Fellow of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture; author of The Design Inference and other books on intelligent design
"So many Christians separate faith from reason as if the two are somehow incompatible. Because of this, the necessity of defending the biblical worldview and the remarkable claims of Jesus Christ to be God in the flesh are given little attention or ignored altogether. Such has led Western civilization into a post-Christian era. A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics has given us a way to inject Christian apologetics (the defense of the faith) back into the lives of young and old alike. This book will help many Christians engage unbelievers with the gospel of Christ."
