The Case for Christ is a compelling investigative work by Lee Strobel, a former atheist and award-winning journalist. Strobel wrote the book after setting out to disprove Christianity, using the same investigative methods he applied as a legal editor for the Chicago Tribune.

Through interviews with leading scholars, Strobel explores the historical reliability of the Gospels, the identity of Jesus, and the evidence for the resurrection. Written in a clear and logical style, The Case for Christ presents Christianity as a faith grounded in credible historical evidence and thoughtful investigation.

This book is one of the most influential works on discipleship in the last century. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, born February 4, 1906, was a brilliant man who developed his theology while pastoring and teaching in Nazi Germany. He was ultimately arrested for participating in a plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler and was executed by special order of Henrich Himmler just days before the Allied forces liberated his prison. Bonhoeffer was granted a coveted teaching position at Union Theological Seminary in New York and could have safely waited out World War II. Instead, he believed he could not help rebuild Germany if he did not also suffer with it during its troubled times. That decision cost him his life. His writings on the cost of following Jesus have exerted a powerful force on readers ever since.

For half a century, J. I. Packer’s classic has helped Christians around the world discover the wonder, the glory, and the joy of knowing God.

Stemming from Packer’s profound theological knowledge, Knowing God brings together two key facets of the Christian faith—knowing about God and knowing God through a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to renew and enrich our understanding of God.

Named by Christianity Today as one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals, Knowing God is now among the iconic books featured in the IVP Signature Collection. A new companion Bible study is also available to help readers explore these biblical themes for themselves.

Mere Christianity is a classic work of Christian thought written by C. S. Lewis, one of the most influential Christian writers of the 20th century. Originally developed from a series of radio talks Lewis gave during World War II, the book was written to explain the core beliefs of Christianity in clear, logical, and accessible language for a broad audience.

Rather than focusing on denominational differences, Mere Christianity presents what Lewis calls “mere” Christianity—the shared foundations of the Christian faith. The book explores universal moral law, the nature of good and evil, the identity of Jesus Christ, and what it means to live a Christian life marked by humility, transformation, and virtue. Thoughtful, reasoned, and deeply personal, Mere Christianity continues to guide readers who are exploring faith, seeking clarity, or desiring a deeper understanding of Christian belief.

More Than a Carpenter is a well-known Christian apologetics book written by Josh McDowell, a former skeptic who set out to disprove Christianity but instead became one of its most influential defenders.

In More Than a Carpenter, McDowell examines the historical evidence surrounding Jesus Christ, asking the critical question: Was Jesus merely a moral teacher, or was He truly who He claimed to be? The book explores the reliability of the New Testament, the historical credibility of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and the logical implications of Jesus’ claims. Written in a clear, engaging, and evidence-based style, the book challenges readers to consider Christianity not just as a belief system, but as a faith grounded in history and reason. It is especially impactful for seekers, skeptics, and believers who want confidence in why they believe.

The Purpose Driven Life is a bestselling Christian book by Rick Warren, designed to help readers discover God’s purpose and direction for their lives.

Through practical teaching, Scripture, and reflection questions, The Purpose Driven Life challenges readers to move beyond self-centered living and align their lives with God’s eternal plan. It is widely used for personal growth, small groups, and church studies, offering clear guidance for living a meaningful, faith-centered life.
