Surprised by Faith book
Surprised by Faith by Dr. Don Bierle is a must read! I am a PhD scientist (Cornell Univeristy, 1983 in nutritional biochemistry) and this book has greatly impacted me on my own faith journey. I now mention this excellent book in multiple speaking events each year, when sharing the scientific evidence that God does indeed exist. How can anyone doubt that God exists after reading this book? This is a very solid scientific examination of Christianity. Dr. Bierle uses objective scientific methods to validate the authenticity of the Bible as a valid historical document. If you ever doubled the reality of Christianity, this is the book for you! I highly recommend this book.

You teach really clearly. I found some of the facts sticking without my making an effort to memorize them. I'll confess I was skeptical about the apologist we were going to have, but you were awesome. I learned a lot. I'm challenged. God bless you!

FaithSearch Discovery
The "Discovery" presentation [gives] information which totally confronts a skeptics view of what the Bible is and why they disbelieve it. This information is rarely presented in the church today and should be understood by every believer so that they may give an answer to the hope that lies within them.

Sunday eve I "forced" our ninth-grade son to come, and he did—kicking and screaming. He asked to come back Monday night because he found it so interesting. Our eighteen-year-old son also came and was fascinated. Thank you so much for your message. I wish we could have had more time.

As a relatively new Christian, creation has been a challenge to me. I believed evolution and the fossil record was more or less air tight. Your course really opened my eyes to the hoax it is. The result: My faith in the Bible has increased immeasurably.

We are so thankful to have had Don Bierle speak to [our] ninth-grade group. At least seven kids stayed after to ask him questions and hear his insight on creation-vs-evolution issues as well. Don was an amazing presenter to our group. He spoke to the students with clarity and effectiveness—meeting them where they are, challenging them to rise to a deep and mature level, and engaging with them to go deeper than they naturallaly would've. It was as if he walked with each of us "hand-in-hand" through rich and challenging content and explained it clearly so each of us came away with a great understanding.
Students locked in, engaged, and respected him. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. For ninth-grade students, this is a great sign of a great communicator and the respect they had for him. One of my co-workers who is also a parent of one of my students visited for the teaching portion and she said it was "amazing." She learned so much from him sitting in on the session—more than she has during the adult sessions. It met her where she was at and she was very impressed. She said, "It was great!!!!!" in an E-mail to me this morning. One of my small group leaders of ninth-grade girls E-mailed this morning and gave me this feedback, "Last night was amazing, my girls stayed about 15-20 minutes after asking questions and digesting! It was awesome. 🙂 "

Surprised by Faith book
My eldest son gave me his autographed copy of your book Surprised by Faith to read several months ago. I must admit that I put off reading it… for all the reasons in your book! I will purchase my own copy as I'd like to pass it on to my other two sons, their wives and children—if they wish to read it. I will encourage that they do. At sixty-eight, I've realized that something was missing: I found it! I'd like to take you up on your offer for a copy of Growing Faith. I do not wish to tear the form from my son's signed copy of your book. Feeling Blessed.
