Burn the Ships: Apologetics and the Local Church

In the United States, we live in an increasingly defacto atheist culture. Our trusted ally in this battle of worldviews must be the local church. Sadly, for too many years the organized church itself has been seduced by the very forces of culture it is meant to address. It has largely failed in its biblical obligations and become the apostate church of the last days.

This book is intended to be a wake-up call both to the individual Christian and to the local church to embrace a more engaged apologetic approach to ministry. We are commanded by Peter always to be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). That is our personal commission as believers, as well as the obligation of the local church to prepare us for our individual mission fields. We are engaged in a war of worldviews. Is your local church preparing you for this battle or sitting this fight out on the sideline?

It is time to Burn Your Ships. Find a local church that is willing to assist you in this life and death battle. Keep looking until you do.

Framing the Sacred: The Shadow of Death

This high tech spy novel is the 4th in the Christian Madison series of adventure novels. A friend from the past is kidnapped by Iranian agents because of her involvement with a top secret government project sponsored by DARPA to uncover potential terrorists before they themselves even know they have been primed to act. This novel debunks the myth of the “Lone Wolf,” examines the impact of all social media on the frontal cortex, explains why “becoming radicalized” is no longer relevant, and helps to explain why apparently normal individuals, such as the Las Vegas shooter can be conditioned to do the unthinkable by remotely rewiring their rational thought processes.
