FaithSearch Discovery
Although I had been exposed to Christianity all my life, I struggled with so many issues that I couldn't undertstand—or wouldn't accept without understanding. These doubts circled around and around in my mind and made it easy for me to just forget the whole idea of God rather than try to accept what I did not understand.
The information you provided dismissed every doubt or confusion I had ever had! I left with the sure and certain knowledge that Jesus Christ was who he said he was and he did what they said he did!! I find it hard to even write that line without crying. Joy—relief—amazement that Christ died for ME—that I might be saved from the torment that was my life and most surely would have been my eternal future. Now I know that someday I will be with him to wash his feet with my hair and to spend forever in praise of my heavenly father. How do I thank you for that?

I don't want to be a person who does not know why I believe what I believe. I was raised in a Chrisian home but have more doubts after graduating from a Christian College. For many years, I have believed in Jesus because that's what people told me to do. I appreciate this seminar as it has helped me in the process of reforming a stronger, more firmly built faith in Jesus.

I thought it was great. It was very helpful to get all the scientific proof. It re-affirms what I already knew, "that it takes more than faith to not believe than to believe.,"

At a moment in my life where I am questioning, "Where are you God? Are you there?" you brought me hope. Thank you.

I was always struggling with so many long and difficult names and locations mentioned in the Bible. Now I know why they are absolutely essential for the validity of the text. I will read them very carefully from now on. Thank you for giving me many answers to the questions I constantly hear from my relatives and friends!

You answered many questions I've had over the last few years. Your examples regarding intelligent design were great!

Surprised by Faith book
Don Bierle's outstanding book, Surprised by Faith, is nothing less than the crowning achievement of his life's work. In it, he summarizes the powerful reasons why an intelligent faith in Christ is the most reasonable response to the historical evidence supporting the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This is a book that should be read by every thinking person who has ever wondered about great questions of the human experience.

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.

I loved the historical proof of the Bible & our Jesus. Growing up going to church, we always talked about faith and believing without seeing. As a bright human with questions & skepticism, it is thrilling to hear and see the tangible evidence of my faith through history and archeology.
