The Portable World Bible presents the fundamental tenets of the world's basic source religions. Contemporary readers are offered, in concise, authoritative translations, the religious thought of the ages, selected, interpreted, and arranged in view of modern man's quest for ultimate truths and values. Robert O. Ballou, the volume's editor, has omitted mere stories, history, and ceremonial detail; what remains in every case is the essence of religion, set down with a clarity and simplicity never before achieved. The Portable World Bible is an unparalleled work of poetic and ethical inspiration, a book that makes a deep appeal to the mind and spirit.

Many Christians are afraid to talk about their faith for fear of not knowing what to say. How can they prepare themselves? That's the purpose of "Handbook of Bible Evidences"--written by two bestselling apologetics experts, John Ankerberg and John Weldon. They provide clear and thoughtful responses to the tough questions seekers are most likely to ask--questions such as... "Hasn't evolution proved that Genesis is wrong?" "Isn't the Bible filled with historical and scientific errors?" "What evidence is there that Jesus rose from the dead?" Focused on topics related to the Bible, Jesus Christ, and creation, this powerful resource deals head-on with false assumptions and frequent misconceptions people have. And it's based on more than 30 years of apologetics research and ministry to unbelievers. A superb tool for helping readers know how to share their faith with confidence! Formerly titled "Ready with an Answer."
