Block and Freeman answer these question with deft and clarity. Both renown astronomers themselves these men take you through the amazing development of Galileo’s telescope, his charged debates with the RC theologians of his day. You’ll be glad you read it!

David is on page 80 of 254 of God Over All: Divine Aseity and the Challenge of Platonism
Dr. Craig's work takes into account the most amazing concepts related to the matter of God's reign in the world. He looks at how it intersects with human will, with the matter of evil (only breifly) and the point so often debated, how God's will responds to man's multiplicitdy of chuices and options. This work is a bit more academic than what I am used to. He could have put some other examples, more down to earth.

David is finished with Funding Your Ministry
Actually I read this book in 2016. It's a clear, ordered, sensible way to approach finding, keeping and partnering with donors. His focus in the non-profit sector, especially Christian missions. He knows his audience (as a former missionary himself) and his field of action. The steps build gradually and provide confidence along the way. I heartily recommend this book to ALL new full time workers!

Funding Your Ministry

David is starting Funding Your Ministry
I read this book three years ago and just decided to download it and read it a second time. Finances for a missionary today have radically changed and we have to learn to adapt with them.
God is the provider, you as a potential fund raiser are in His partner. The book teaches you how to represent him well as you share you ministry vision. Read this book BEFORE you go on prefield or deputation.

David is 2% done with Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture
Hers a book we could all use in the modern controversy of the political field. Grudem lays out solid reasons why democracy is a government that depends on personal righteousness and moral integrity. Always wanting to lay the blame at the feet of the politician is an escape valve to not have to face societal decandence.

David is 65% done with The Problem of Evil: Selected Readings
This work will set you up for an intellectual wrestling match with your pat answers about why there is evil in the world. Reading it has allowed me to "hear" the voices of those who question God's existence on the basis of the ever growing presence of evil around us, while opening my heart and mind to compelling reasons why evil actually proves He does exist.

David is 23% done with When Athens Met Jerusalem: An Introduction to Classical and Christian Thought
What would happen to western society if by popular democratic vote Christianity was expelled from culture? Why does popular opinion desire at all costs an egalitarian framework for morality and decisions? And who will steer popular culture back,from the edge of self destruction? We can gain some insight into these questions by examining how the west inherited our worldview from Athenian thot.

David is on page 160 of 278 of The Consolation of Philosophy: With an Introduction and Contemporary Criticism (Ignatius Critical Editions)
Never thought I would enjoy the OLD classics, but this is like an oasis in a desert! Read and learn! There´s a reason that Boethius was, during the medieval period, the most read book of all those educated or wanted to be so! I have seen life from a very different view point!

David is on page 90 of 192 of De parte de Dios y delante de Dios: Una guía de predicación expositiva (Spanish Edition)
De facil lectura, este libro vale la pena leerlo para el predicador nuevo y tambien para el experimentado. Está lleno de razones de por qué la predicación expositiva es la mejor forma de comunicar el "pan de vida" a la grey de Dios. Me falta mucho por leer, pero estoy seguro que lo voy a aprovechar bien!

David is on page 52 of 336 of Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning
Let's be honest: we Christians prefer to drink the poison of the culture and then ask what is the consequences. We try the fades, we follow the trends, we imitate the fashion, but overlook the motives. The book "Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on the Mind, Morals and Meaning." Let's pray we can learn how to do this, before the culture overruns our life styles and our lives.
