TESTIMONIALS
Hello Dr. Craig, I would like to thank you for being a tool that God used to save my heart from the darkness of pessimism, atheism and materialism. By losing a much loved uncle, tried to understand death, but only found the dark, you were the torch that God used to guide me. I still have many questions, but I am no more unprotected front the attacks of atheists.
God bless you

Dr. Craig, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and encourage you to continue this great work that God has laid upon you. I've written you before and would like to stress the importance of the work you do. I was an atheist of 12 years, until, at my mother's behest, I watched a debate you did on Youtube. Needless to say, my life was changed. I sincerely believe that the Holy Spirit works through your arguments and presentations, especially in this new age, to bring folks to God. Watching that first debate made me realize that there were tears in the (so I thought) indestructible armor of atheism, and it lead me to seriously questioning my stance and outlook on life. No doubt, the Spirit of God set your words down as towers looming above my own intelligence. They humbled me, yet showed me God's love. They showed me that it is absolutely reasonable to believe in a Divine Creator, and perhaps that is as best as we can do sometimes. But that was more than enough for me. I am now a member of Christ's Holy Body. When I saw your videos and felt the Spirit calling me, my life was falling apart. My wife and I were separated and on the verge of divorce, but after being compelled to read the scriptures, the Spirit told me to forgive. I took a leap of faith and followed suit. Now, my marriage couldn't be happier, our children are being raised in the faith, my wife is now entering the Church, and we are living a life devoted to Christ. I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done, and I must say, the Holy Spirit is with you and working through you. You have definitely provided the seed of faith that the Spirit is growing in me and now, all of my family. God bless you sir, and may you have many more years to give this incredible gift to the world.

Dr. Craig and Reasonable Faith Ministries,
I just wanted to say how immensely grateful I am for the resources you make freely available. They have helped me tremendously both in my personal faith journey and in my work as a philosophy professor. And thanks for making them free! I was just downloading some more Reasonable Faith and Defenders podcasts this morning.
May God continue to use and bless your work.
Gratefully yours,
-Phil
I don't know how many of these Dr. Craig actually reads, but I have a lot to thank him for. I was recently asked what was the most influential book I've ever read was, and I had to answer Reasonable Faith. I'm not even 19 yet, so I'm uncomfortable talking about "points in my life," but I read during my senior year of high school, and it just opened up a whole new realm of thought to me at an important point in my life. Now I'm a Math and Philosophy double major, and although I do disagree with him on a fair number of issues, he is at least a noteworthy part of why I love philosophy.

Happy birthday, Dr. Craig. I don't know whether or not you're going to read this message but I want you to know that your work is very important to me.
I'm Brazilian. Two years ago I ordered some Christian books on the internet. I was informed that one of them was missing, so would have to choose another book. I chose the book "On guard" ("Em guarda", in Portuguese).
The reflections about a life without God, the cosmological argument and your personal history about how you became a philosopher inspired me. I decided to be a Christian apologist. Last year, I went to the university (and I am there yet). I'm a Philosophy student.
I've earned the book "Reasonable faith" and your debate with John Dominic Crossan in a draw made by an apologetic website. I earned the book "Hard questions, real answers" in birthday last year. Amazing books.
At university we have an apologetic encounter weekly. We are not scholars but we try to study apologetic books and share them with other Christian students and atheists too.
Thank you, Mr. Craig. May God bless you. He has your reward.
