I had the very special privilege to hear a fairly well known apologist recently.  He was speaking on the reasons behind why the church is losing its youth and young adults.  After the first presentation she was asking about material for kids.  As is my wont, I suggested the book Living Loud by Norman Geisler and Joseph Holden.  This is an outstanding book written for high school age kids, though my 5th grade son is able to understand and process the ideas it presents.Pillars-of-Creation

For those who don’t know, Norman Geisler is one of the most brilliant Christian apologists alive today.  His book Christian Apologetics is a standard text at University and Seminary.  His in a skilled debater often on the front lines defending the faith against skeptics and atheists.  Yes, he had that unfortunate feud with Licona, but his scholarship in apologetics is nevertheless brilliant.

Changes are coming!

Posted: December 30, 2014 in General

Hi friends,

I know it’s been awhile since regular postings, but things have been insane the last 10 months or so. Not only work and health, but a podcast and other blogging duties have taken up my time.

The good news is that I am not only rested, but am taking the Geek to the next level. Expect some changes and much more regular postings as the new year rolls in. Most of the changes are going to be under the good to give a better running site

It you’ve been praying for me, and I know many if you have, thanks and do continue. It’s helped me through a rough year.

See you again very soon!
