| Challenges to Christianity come from a variety of people and belief systems, and Christians are continually searching for the appropriate responses to critics of their faith. Yet until now there has been no definitive one-volume encyclopedia designed to equip believers for Christian defense against the full range of opposing arguments. The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics is such a work. This comprehensive reference volume covers every key issue, person, and concept related to Christian apologetics. Written entirely by leading apologist Norman Geisler, it stands as the culmination of the author's life-long career and ministry. The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics offers valuable information and advice to a wide audience: pastors and Christian leaders, students on college campuses, those involved in counter-cult ministries--all Christians who encounter skeptics. |

| Much of the Bible is a history of Godis dealings with his people Israel. The events it records took place in a specific geographical environment that involved many people and places. So to more clearly understand the Bible, itis helpful to visualize how Israel interacted with her neighbors and was affected by geography. Bakeris Bible Atlas gives you the tools you need to reconstruct the scenes of history-full-color maps, illustrations, color photographs, a time line, and more. The concluding chapters trace the continuing history of Bible lands, emphasizing the work of modern archaeologists. An index and geographical gazetteer help you locate significant places of Bible times on modern and traditional maps. Bakeris Bible Atlas is organized to follow the scriptural narrative, making it especially convenient for Bible study or textbook use. |

| Too often busy pastors and lay leaders are unable to invest adequate time preparing for meaningful worship. Baker's Worship Handbook, a companion to Baker's Wedding Handbook and Baker's Funeral Handbook, provides pastors and lay leaders with a comprehensive, creative, and up-to-date resource for planning worship services. This unique cross-denominational guide serves as a reference tool for conducting a variety of God-centered worship services, including the Lord's Supper, baptisms, infant dedications, confirmations and public professions of faith, anointings of the sick, recognition of births and adoptions, groundbreakings, and church building dedications. Aids for regular Sunday worship services include prayer helps, doxologies, affirmations of faith, offering resources, music resources, and thirty thematic guides to the acts and attributes of God. These thematic guides contain listings of call to worship texts, examples of responsive calls to worship, and prayers of adoration. The author's extensive front-line experience enhances Baker's Worship Handbook. Not only has he completed doctoral studies on worship but he has also planned and led worship services, worked with music directors and worship planning groups, taught worship courses in several seminaries, and conducted local church worship seminars. Whether your church prefers services that are contemporary or traditional, informal or formal, high-culture or pop-culture, the helpful resources in this volume can be used to plan next weekend's services. The appendixes include planning forms to photocopy. |
