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."

It was a really good presentation. It was cool to see more proof I can use to tell my friends about creation. It helped me learn a lot.

This is a wonderful collection of information everyone should hear! I was ripped to shreds as a freshman in college—some science majors teamed up to tear down Christianity. I didn't have anything tangible to throw back. I have spend many years rebuilding—"discovering." I'd love to meet up with them again.

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.

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!

Surprised by Faith book
Don Bierle's book Surprised by Faith has proven itself to be a great tool at enlightening and reinforcing Christian beliefs. To know what a person believes is a good first step in the journey of Christian faith. To know why a person believes what he or she believes is the all-important next step which solidifies a person's faith. In his book Surprised by Faith, Don Bierle gives historical, archaeological, and scientific facts that aid the inquiring mind in discerning "why" to believe "what" they believe. I heartily recommend his book.

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.

Loved hearing about the external evidence of science and literature for helping to explain to others! This is non-threatening and just good information for people who are unsure of the truth of the Scripture.

I appreciate this eye-opening study. I have a very inquisistive and data-driven mind and this helped me really affirm what I believe and why. Thank you! I grew up [in a tradition where] religion was always "assumed," so thank you for helping me open my eyes.
