I will be taking time off to enjoy the Christmas season with my family. My next new blog post will go live on January 9th.
The Case for Christ: Daily Moment of Truth – Lee Strobel and Mark Mittleberg
Still looking for a few Christmas gifts?! The Case for Christ: Daily Moment of Truth is an outstanding devotional which incorporates text from Strobel’s previous Case for Christ resources. I really like the succinct nature of each devotional. They are easy to read and understand yet still have a great deal of substance. This devotional would make a lovely gift.
