by Michael Card

But that's not all. God invites us to love him with our minds as well. Being holistic, global Christians means that we need to think well about the world around us. Greg Jao roots our pursuit of the discipleship ...

Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions ...
