TESTIMONIALS

Just wanted to give you a very heartfelt thanks for all you do. Your book, Reasonable Faith, was the catalyst on my journey towards becoming a true Christian. During my first semester of college I took a class on the New Testament, thinking it would be nice to see these books from a purely historical perspective. The textbook we used was written by Bart Ehrman, whom I did not know of at the time. Needless to say, as the semester progressed, my faith became smaller and smaller. I frantically searched for answers for around nine months, but I didn't know where to look. One day I happened across one of your debates on YouTube. I had never seen someone stand up for Christianity with such forceful logic and precision, it was a welcomed relief to say the least. To make a long story short, I have completely turned my spiritual life around to the point where I run a small blog defending Christianity (something I never would have dreamt of before). I now know why I believe the things I believe, which is priceless. There is no doubt that it was the Lord who took me through this journey, but your ministry was the tool He used. I'm sure my story is mirrored in so many other college students who go through this every year, especially in this increasingly secularized environment. You truly are a light in the darkness.

If I may say so, I think these forums are great! Amongst an internet of darkness, lies, stupidity, and insincerity, these forums genuinely seem to be a place where thinking, calm, normal people can discuss the biggest of issues. I find here not apathetic "tolerance" (I fear post modernism) but legitimate concern for each other. I credit Christ, because this is the internet, after all. Yet here we are! In a sensible, cool-headed place to discuss God!

I have visited many ... forums in my time. I raise a virtual pint to everybody here, both theist or not, for making this place truly a place of "substantive, irenic discussion of issues raised in Dr. Craig's work." I feel God working.

I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your website and learning from all your hard work! Thank you. I was feeling quite dry in my christian expereince, almost as though it has been too intellectually focused and lacking in spirit. But to my surprise after recently reflecting on the teleological and cosmological arguments as well as the argument from desire, I have felt an enormous boost in my spirit. When I go outside and look at something as simple as a mundane leaf, or feel a cold breeze, or the sunshine on my back, or when I see families together and people laughing and having fun, I actually feel a presence of God and a deep awareness of his goodness to me, and it makes me feel so thankful. So I no longer feel that the mind and the heart are so separate, I think God's Spirit brings the truth the life and it becomes even more beautiful! Keep going you're doing a great job!

My name is Linda and I am a member of Saddleback Church. I first heard you teach when you came last year as part of Pastor Rick's Lecture series. I immediately found your podcast on your website and have downloaded the entire Defenders series. I absolutely love it. I teach women's Bible Studies at Saddleback and am always seeking to deepen my knowledge of and relationship with Jesus. I am a stay-at-home mom, and so can not afford (nor do I have the time) to go to seminary. I have found, though, that your classes provide incredible depth and tons of food for thought. You are helping me to understand these essential truths at significantly deeper levels.

I just want to thank you for the site and the ongoing discussions that you make available. I am a Christian who has questioned the existence of God through out my life. Because I was not aware reasons for the existence of God I relied on my own pondering and emotions. During tough times I would conclude that God did not exist and during good time I concluded that He did exist. This was horrible... After discovering the site I am now able to remind myself of the Kalam and cosmological arguments and have a more steady walk with the Lord. While I don't have a philosophy background I do enjoy reading the content on the site. I really appreciate the tone used during debates and in answering questions. Sometimes, I can't follow the arguments (due to lack of philosophy background) but I am able to follow the tone in them. Thank you for making this available to the world and thank you for explaining things in the popular articles for the lay people like myself. Your work has truly impacted my life.
