Can Man Live Without God by Ravi Zacharias

In Can Man Live Without God, Ravi Provides a brilliant and compelling apologetic defense of the Christian faith-the likes of which we haven't seen since C.S. Lewis. With forceful logic, insightful illustrations, and passionate convictions, he shows how affirming the reality of God's existence matters urgently in our everyday lives.

I'm a huge fan of Ravi Zacharias. I'm always excited to here another speech by him. That's why I'm glad I was finally able to find his books in stores. Can Man Live Without God is a heavily philosophical book where Ravi goes through what the loss of God as a point of reference does to morality and truth. He is a man who takes a lot of time to read what the biggest naturalistic philosophers are saying, so he spends time unpacking the things that have been said by people such as Friedrich Nietzsche and countering them with the logic of belief and the hope of the Cross. He goes into many different aspects, including philosophical, historical, and Biblical reasons why Christianity is the truth. I highly, highly recommend Ravi Zacharias to anyone who loves philosophy and apologetics. Ravi is one of the best this century.


God in the Dock by C.S. Lewis

God in the Dock contains forty-eight essays and twelve letters written by Lewis between 1940 and 1963. Ranging from popular newspaper pieces to learned defenses of the faith, these essays cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, the role of women in the church, and ethics and politics. Many represent Lewis's first ventures into themes he would later treat in full-length books.

As described in the summary, this is a series of essays and letters by C.S. Lewis, considered perhaps the greatest apologist of all time. In these essays you'll get Lewis's responses to questions about Christianity and the church, philosophical defenses of the Christian faith, and the conclusions he's made about how unbelievers think about God and the church. Some profound thoughts by a great apologist.
