Cold Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels by J. Warner Wallace Review

 Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to take the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today.

I'm Kirby, and I'm always happy to welcome you to my little bookish corner of the internet.

No matter how I look at it, nothing is as important as sharing my faith, and I love getting to use my blog as a tool to do so. A couple of years ago, I decided I wanted to start reading some deeper diving Christian non fiction titles, and I've discovered some amazing and maybe some not so amazing ones along the way.

Today's review is going to be for a title I'd been anticipating reading for quite sometime, and I was thankful that my hold from the library was finally fulfilled.

I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

Cold Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels by J. Warner Wallace:

Source: Library

Publisher: David C Cook

Publication Date: January 1st, 2013

Genre: Christian Non Fiction/Christian Living

Synopsis:

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.

My Review:

I've been enjoying working my way through many Christian apologetic titles over the past few years, and Cold Case Christianity has been one I've been highly anticipating. I was familiar with J. Warner Wallace's testimony, and was intrigued to get to read all about it from his own point of view.

This book is a wonderful read that could help non-believers come to know the truth of the Gospels, but it's also a wonderful resource for us believers in helping us know how to stand strong in the face of all the adversity coming from society today. We might know that we truly believe in Christ, but this book encourages us to dive deeper and be able to identify why we believe what we do. It's definitely one of the best books I've read within this particular genre, and I learned many new insights that inspired my faith to strengthen and deepen.

The only thing keeping it from five stars was the fact that I found the way some of the material was presented in "legal" terms was kind of hard to follow and made the story drag a bit.

Overall though, a wonderful read that I think anyone could benefit from picking up.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope you all have a great rest of your day :)
