TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Craig:
FYI: Just want you to know I reference your work and your website on the forums in the free online courses I take through Cousera (you may have heard of it). The forums on these courses are open for all students to discuss (students include many retirees, like me, as well as folks from around the world).
A number of atheists post on these forums and will actually DEMAND that anyone of faith give them an argument for a belief in God. I quickly learned that this was a "set-up" and that I was no match for these folks. So I began replying that I had no credentials for such an undertaking but that I could refer them to Dr. Wm Craig who could -- and would -- fully answer any and all questions. Of course, that response shut them up. They don't want to argue with someone that has your level of skill and knowledge.
So glad to hear that you are beginning to train others to do this work.
Have a blessed Christmas.

I know you must receive these sorts of emails all the time, but I would like thank not only Dr. Craig but the Reasonable Faith staff for bringing me to the Christian faith. Though I had never been an atheist or agnostic, believing in Jesus had been an intellectual challenge for me. Dr. Craig’s podcasts and writings have really helped understand who Jesus really is. Not only has my faith been grounded intellectually and spiritually, I feel confident to explain it in a logical manner.
Not only has your ministry brought me to Christianity, it has renewed my wife’s, who until fairly recently was a nominal Christian.
Please continue your wonderful ministry. It is touching lives, both directly and indirectly.
Kind regards,
-Bradly
This Sunday I begin a 10-week apologetics course I've developed for my church (Lawrenceville First United Methodist - www.fumclv.org). This course is the launch of what I envision being a series of apologetics courses for senior high and adults (we are also implementing apologetics programs at the children's and older youth levels). Weeks two through four will focus on the cosmological, teleological and moral arguments for God's existence). For the first two, we will be viewing your animated videos as a means of introducing the argument, and from there we will dig deeper into the arguments. You're videos do a great job of introducing the subject matter in an engaging and easy to follow manner, and they are very well written and prepared. Well, until today, I wasn't sure how I wanted to introduce the moral argument. I just saw that you have released a new animated video on the moral argument. That timing is perfect, and I wanted to let you know and thank you!
I appreciate everything that you do for God's Kingdom and you using the extensive talent's and abilities God has given you for his purposes!

As a 21 ex-atheist who felt the despair of life ending in nothingness, I totally was able to relate to Doctor Craig. Another day to kill with no point and no reason.
It wasn't until falling upon yourself, Gary Habermas, and NT Wright that I realised that the wool had been pulled over my eyes.
Thank you so much for such stellar talks, especially on the historicity of Jesus' resurrection.
I still doubt and have moments of grief, but I finally have a reason to get up in the morning- Jesus Christ.
Thank you Doctor Craig.

Hello,
My name is Denis, I am a Christian and I live in Calgary, Canada.
I am currently doing my master’s degree in Music Composition at the University of Calgary and in March the 5th the Lord allowed me to witness in a very interesting way here in Canada.
In December 2014 I decided I wanted to enter in a national composers competition here in Canada. I started praying a lot for God to lead me and show me how I could glorify His name through this. One day I woke up and a voice came to my mind saying, “Do a piece based on the Kalam Cosmological Argument”. That would be a challenge as the piece was meant to be for piano, violin and cello, no words. In two weeks I wrote the piece and submitted the score. Besides the wonderful opportunity of having the best chamber group in Canada playing and recording my piece, and composers from Toronto and Montreal commenting and talking about it there was a greater one. I would like to share an argument about the existence of God and the only way I could share the Kalam Cosmological Argument in front of a big audience of scholars would be if I reached the finals (only three people from all Canada). My goal was not to win but to reach the finals so I get to share the concept of my piece. But I knew that God was leading my way since the beginning. My piece was selected to be in the finals!!. The performance was wonderful and I could share the concept of my piece; I am sure the Lord placed a seed in the heart of people. In all of that process I could talk to many people that asked about my piece’s concept and I could share the gospel with many of them as well. I won third place in Canada and received the prize of Public’s favorite piece.
My piece is called KOSMOS, and it’s form, structure, notes, dynamics and articulations are all together based on the Kalam Cosmological Argument.
All glory be to God, we are only instruments in His hands to glorify His name in all the earth!!
Let me know if you or Dr. Craig would like to know more in depth how it was made and how it sounds.
My best regards,
-Denis
