Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

The second edition of The Unseen War for your soul adds clarity and fulfillment to God's mind, will and intentions. There is one verse of scripture that is very astonishing concerning God's will. Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. This simply says that everything God will do, past, present and future He has gave them to His servants. God's Word is the means in which this has been accomplished. From the first book of Genesis until the last book called Revelation is God's perfect will. The Unseen War for Your Soul has taken these secrets, mysteries from God's Word and arraigned them in a systematic order. First, we first look into eternity past and observe His creative acts. The reader will be amazed at the beautiful revelations of God's intended purposes for man during His acts of past creation. Second, then what really happen at the creation of the heavens, earth and humanity. A shocking character comes from the third heaven. He was heavens star before his rebellion. Third, we are given the divine honor of seeing into eternity future. God's word paints a picture of the worlds to come. We will look into the two places where humanity will live forever. Chapter after chapter, The Unseen War for Your Soul takes you into and through God's secrets and mysteries until they are divinely fulfilled. This book answers in detail why God created angels and the role they play. Several chapters give a total understanding of angels. Why God created cherubim's, their order in eternity and time. Why evil, its origins and final exit into eternity. Why did God create the human race? I have left no stone covered concerning our creation, purpose, accountability and final judgment. What God gave angels and humanity so His divine will is perfectly fulfilled? Chapter two and chapter twenty two I feel was divinely imparted to me and will answer many questions for those who seek truth. There may be men and women who have preached and wrote along these lines; but I have never heard or read them. This book is a divine miracle that Jesus helped me write and arraigned for His people. There will be many men and women whose understanding will be opened as they read. I give all the praise, honor and glory to my God and savior Jesus for this book.
We have an eternal soul—God has given us convincing evidence! The purpose of this book is to show skeptics and seasoned Christians alike that there is abundant additional evidence quite apart from the Bible. This is an ongoing thing with God. The fate of Christianity was not sealed with events that happened 2000 years ago. He is furthering his work in this world by continuing to give us this evidence, whether in the form of paranormal phenomena, knowledge conveyed directly into the minds of selected people, or messages from loved ones in heaven. Many examples of these types are given in this book. Some include quite convincing substantiation. It is hard to see how any but the most hardened skeptic would not be moved by some of these happenings. But then, a hardened skeptic would most likely not be reading this book. This book is definitely not a “preaching to the choir” type of book. The “choir”, whether one or more Christians, a whole congregation, or even the entire Christian Church, never hears this type of preaching. None of these matters are ever brought up, from the pulpit, the lectern, or the thousands of pamphlets, leaflets and complete books to which we are exposed. The fact is that the Christian Church has been slow to recognize God's ongoing work in our world through these means. It is my hope that my work, and that of others possibly in a more accredited position than myself, will serve to wake up the Church to this exciting aspect of God's continuing conveyance of the truth. I am not sure just when I made the decision to write books which basically called organized religion to task in failing to recognize the importance of the unexplainable happenings in world literature. I had read Raymond Moody's bestseller Life After Life many years before, and had been captivated by the revelation of near-death excursions. Eventually, the notion took hold that God is giving us these experiences to strengthen our religious commitment, and with this realization came the decision to write about it. Your Soul Is Eternal was purposely written to be independent of the Bible, so that it would be clear that God intended this information as an autonomous source.
