Ferintosh Free Church

Since running the Christianity Explored course in the congregation, people have been asking about different books to help them articulate their Christian faith. Also included in this list are some books and devotional resources for those who have recently come to faith.

So the three general areas covered by this resouces page will look at apologetics, devotional and theological materials. They are by no means exhaustive but should give people an easy place to start looking.

Apologetics: This is about defending the Christian Faith. Many of these resources will give you some tools to help answer people's questions about what we believe and why we believe it.

Three books by Lee Stobel are a good place to start: http://www.leestrobel.com/
