Evangelism in a Skeptical Age

No matter where you live, you know things are different. Our secular age poses new challenges. But also new opportunities. The old arguments don’t quite work liked they used to. But new apologists help us expose the Bible’s timeless, divinely inspired wisdom and saving grace.

Sam Chan is one of those apologists for the Christian faith. He was born in Hong Kong, raised in Australia, worked as a medical doctor in Sydney, and earned a Ph.D. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is a public speaker for City Bible Forum in Sydney, Australia, and the author of Evangelism in a Skeptical World: How to Make the Unbelievable News about Jesus More Believable (Zondervan).

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’

Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.

In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.

TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
