TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Craig,

I could say a hundred positive things about your ministry, but right now I just wanted to share an observation that impressed me as I watched yet another video of yours. I noted how you patiently waited through yet another long question on an item you have addressed time and time again (in this case, the Euthyphro Dilemma). Further, the question was presented in a manner that could be considered disagreeable for a number or reasons.

Your reply reminded me of how many times you have responded patiently and graciously in so many situations. Whether responding to direct or indirect smears or attacks, or simply listening and speaking to repetitions of old questions, you rarely, if ever, seem annoyed, defensive or angry, much less rude or nasty. What's more, this demeanor seems more peaceful than "cool", not seeming due to any aloofness of arrogance, but rather to a humble yet bold earnestness. As a Christian, it is always a joy and encouragement for me to see a brother's character reflecting aspects of the Lord's, and Christ certainly seems to be working in yours. Thank you for your work and I thank the Lord for your ministry. Regards,

I recently discovered your organization Reasonable Faith by way of your videos on YouTube. I found your videos very thorough, logical, and compelling. Thank you. Your videos make a great case for why there must be a personal God who created the universe! I enjoyed your video about God and the big bang. In that video and another video you make your views known on Geensis.

I was in the Atlanta airport and saw Dr. Craig today. I really wanted to catch up with him and let him know how he's transformed my life. Unfortunately he was in a different security line and a little bit ahead of me.

My path in life went from Catholic to atheist agnostic to Christian. My faith has become so strong since I now have answers to questions that I never had answers for.

Thank you dr. Craig for defending the faith and if you need assistance I will do everything in my power to get a debate started between you and Dawkins

I wanted to share a fun story with you about my experience last weekend. I did one of the largest physical undertakings I have ever aspired to, a 300 mile off road mountain bike race on the Arizona trail. It was a 4 day endeavor in which I carried all my supplies and camping gear and slept under the stars. It was a great experience in itself but the interesting part was meeting a young woman my age who was a philosophy professor. Her specialty was in ancient greek philosophy. We rode together for the better part of 24 hours and had some great talks about the foundation of moral values being objective or subjective, the Euthyphro dilemma, and whether God was inclusive in the universe or outside altogether. She taught me some things about greek philosophy such as Aristotle's views on God. We had a bit of dialogue about the general arguments for God and just some personal back history on our own personal faiths.

The great part about this is that 3 years ago, I didn’t even have a clue as to what philosophy was much less have anything of substance to talk about regarding it. The reason I became familiar with your work was because my younger brother had announced his atheism to our family and it rocked the boat for me. It didn’t break my faith but it got me asking some deeper questions and another friend who went to Biola and was familiar with your work gave me a copy of Reasonable Faith. Since then I have been a weekly listener to the pod casts and read several of your books. I am a Pool Guy by trade so it just goes to show that philosophy and great bible teaching reach far beyond the confines of academia.

I shared some of your podcasts and links to your website to my bike riding friend Sarah. I pray she pursues them and is engaged spiritually and mentally in your work and the work of many philosophers of the past.

Thank you for allowing God to use you in this life and make your work so accessible to lay men like myself. I respect you greatly as a Christian man and philosopher. Please continue to do your work alongside the Spirits leading, much more fruit will be harvested! Best Regards,

I wanted to offer my heartfelt thanks to you, Dr. Craig. Listening to you and watching you and reading your books has made SUCH an impact on my life. I didn't discover your work until after I became a follower of Jesus, but I believe that God delivered your influence to me at just the right time because I know that I would have abandoned my faith long ago if I hadn't have found you. I remember the first time I ever heard your name: on Frank Turek's top 20 Christian apologists podcast in mid 2014. You were number 2 on the list (after Dr. Norman Geisler), and that's when I started to look into your work. I found your books, I watched your debates, I listened to your talks, etc. I can honestly say that the Lord used you to keep me from falling away from my faith in Jesus. I will be forever grateful to you for the work you do for the Kingdom of God.

You continue to make such an impact on my life today. Even though I am a born-again believer, I struggle every single day with very severe depression and anxiety. I've made a lot of bad choices in my life, going deep into sin and hurting a lot of people and myself. I struggle with very strong guilt and hatred for myself every day. In the past year, I've come extremely close to suicide at least seven times, most of those times being in the past couple of months. That's when I'm seriously doubting God's love for me, and then I start to question the truth of Christianity. But then I remember everything I learned from you, and the Lord is able to renew a little bit of hope in my heart. So I start to read more of your work, watch more of your work, and eventually I'm able to return to God with a humble heart, begging Him to heal my heart and reassure me of His love for me and of my glorious salvation. And every time, I feel Him do just that.

Once again, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for the world, and for me. I believe that God used you, Dr. Craig, to save my life a couple of times. Please continue to use the power the Holy Spirit has given you to bring more and more brothers and sisters to the glorious salvation of Jesus Christ! God bless!
