Naming the Elephant: Worldview as a Concept
What is a worldview? What lies behind your thoughts about almost everything? For more than thirty years, James W. Sire has grappled with this issue. In this book he offers readers his most mature thought on the concept of a worldview, addressing such questions as
• What is the history of the concept itself?
• What is the first question you should ask in
formulating a worldview?
• How are worldviews formed existentially as well as
intellectually?
• Is a worldview primarily an intellectual system, a way
of life or a story?
• What are the public and private dimensions of
worldview?
• What role can worldview thinking play in assessing
your own worldview and those of others, especially in
light of the pluralism in today's world?

Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case
If you think atheists have reason, evidence, and science on their side, think again! Award-winning author Dr. Frank Turek (I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist) will show you how atheists steal reason, evidence, science, and other arguments from God in trying to make their case for atheism. If that sounds contradictory, it’s because it is! Atheists can’t make their case without appealing to realities only theism can explain. In an engaging and memorable way, Stealing from God exposes these intellectual crimes atheists are committing and then provides four powerful reasons for why Christianity is true.
