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?

[This presentation has] given me greater ability to share the historical facts backing up the accuracy of Scripture and divinity of Jesus.

Surprised by Faith book
Far from being a "leap in the dark," faith is the reasonable and rational response to an honest examination of facts, postulates Dr. Don Bierle in his simultaneously scholarly and easy to read book Surprised by Faith. In six concise chapters he lays out the evidence for biblical Christianity in a straight forward and logical manner, then invites the reader to respond in belief.

You reassured the fact that the Bible is not a bunch of gossip stories, but true from the eyewitnesses themselves.

I so needed this because my heart has been so burdened for many in my family and friends who do not believe, who are following the world religions.

Surprised by Faith book
Don Bierle was surprised by faith and it transformed his life! As a skeptical researcher and teacher he was challenged to research the evidence for Jesus. God worked and Don became convinced of the relaibility of the Bible and the truth that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! Surprised by Faith tells Don's story and persuasively challenges the reader to seriously consider the person and work of Jesus. I heartlily recommend you read it. I have had the privilege of partnering with FaithSearch International for fifteen years and have seen Don's message change many lives. Invite Don to your church!!

Surprised by Faith book
Dr. Don Bierle know much more that he teaches. His heart is to communicate that which is vitally important to his listeners: Christian faith is reasonable and rational, though not rationalistic. Surprised by Faith teaches the scriptural truth that God became man in the incarnation, in doing so the infinite, personal God came into the finite world to live, die, and rise again on our behalf. In Surprised, Dr. Bierle condenses a lifetime of influence from some of the modern Christianity's apologetics giants (Lewis, Schaeffer, Chesterton) into accessible form for the Christian seeking a better understanding of his or her own faith, or for the seeker wanting to understand the object of their considerations. Surprised by Faith is an indispensable primer to evidential apologetics.

We have been extremely blessed to have had Dr. Don Bierle speak to our congregation over the years! He has strengthend, educated, and encouraged our people in dealing with difficult questions concerning evolutionary theories and secular thinking. His book Surprised by Faith is a must read! Packaged within a personal journey of faith, Bierle gives brilliant and compelling evidence for answering six of the most important questions we can ask.

I have appreciated your teaching. (I have already begun using it to answer the questions of my daugher.) Thank you! Your teaching is well-organized and clear, and full of insights I needed to be reminded of. I was challenged to share my faith with boldness, equipped to defend my beliefs. Again, 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!
