Here is a sampling from some of the thousands of comments we have received about our events, videos, and books.
Surprised by Faith book
I was given Surprised by Faith to read while on a bus on a choir trip nearly ten years ago. I read it once, then again (outlining it) and reviewed it to see if I had all the data processed correctly. I started buying the books from the publisher though our church in Jacksonville where my wife worked, and gave them out as the books became available. I gave 25-30 books away for people to use... This curriculum is very good and should be heard and absorbed by everyone. It strengthens our faith in the authenticity of the Bible and the reality of God "in human flesh."

For several decades, Dr. Don Bierle has proven to be a tremendous resource and partner in ministry, significantly in enhancing the spread of the Gospel in our Twin Cities and beyond. His ministry, FaithSearch and, book, Surprised by Faith, have been key sources of spiritual transformation within the lives of, literally, hundreds of men and women all over the Twin Cities and beyond. Thank you, Don, for your faithfulness to our Lord over all these years, and for your effectiveness in making Him known!

"(FaithSearch) will strengthen your own faith in God, in the reliability of the Bible, and in the truth of Jesus Christ."
—Dr. Billy Graham
FaithSearch Origins
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.

FaithSearch provides an invaluable resource in defending key issues of Christianity. [It] provides the believer a renewed confidence in their faith, while the skeptic is challenged in their unbelief.

FaithSearch Discovery
Brings tangibility and reality to the exstence of God. Provides knowledge and tools to use to support the argument of God's presence.

FaithSearch International
Dr. Don Bierle and the FaithSearch ministry has blessed our congregation immensely throughout our many years of partnership. Surprised by Faith is a favorite among our Christian education offerings on Sunday mornings, and this resouce has been effectively used in a variety of formats within our congregation including groups large and small as well as individual instruction. I highly recommend this resource as one that changes not only minds but hearts as well.

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

FaithSearch Discovery
FaithSearch was a shot in the arm for our congregation. We had a number of people grow in their faith and their understanding of their relationship with God. We have seen an increased interest in Bible study and discipleship programs as a result. We've also seen an increased interest in peoples' willingness and desire to share their faith in Christ with others.
