The Poached Egg’s April Apologetics Books and T-Shirt Giveaway

 

The Poached Egg’s April Apologetics Books and T-Shirt Giveaway

from TPE editor Greg West

Congratulations to TPE readers Debbie, Joseph, and Sara, our March giveaway winners. Each of you will receive a copy of the G.K. Chesterton biography, Defiant Joy: The Remarkable Life & Impact of G.K. Chesterton, once I receive your shipping information that I requested in your e-mail notification.

This month we’re giving away four more books, one of them written by our very own contributing author, Jeff McInnis! To enter this month’s giveaway simply comment below and be sure to add your e-mail address (not published) where prompted to do so. If you have a preference of which book you would like to win, please state that as well.

Below is the list of books with their descriptions!

Choosing Your Faith: In a World of Spiritual Options by Mark Mittelberg (2 copies)

In a world of spiritual options, people constantly tell us what to believe. Yet, while we hear these pleas, we're already functioning with existing beliefs—even if they are beliefs by default. So how do we choose what to believe—especially in the area of faith? Do we need to choose? In Choosing Your Faith, Mark Mittelberg encourages us, as Socrates does, not to lead an unexamined life. He invites us to examine why we believe what we believe. This examination will resonate with Christians and seekers alike.

Everyman's Apologetic: A Non-Technical approach to a Complex Question by J.W. McInnis

A non-technical approach to Christian Apologetics written in a narrative and conversational tone. This book approaches the topic in a very non-threatening, non-confrontational way and poses many questions that its author has confronted through his career as a professional engineer and his own wrestling with the truth of Christianity.

What Have They Done with Jesus?: Beyond Strange Theories and Bad History--Why We Can Trust the Bible by Ben Witherington III

Strange theories about Jesus seem to ooze from our culture with increasing regularity. Ben Witherington, one of the top Jesus scholars, will have none of it. There were no secret Gnostic teachings in the first century. With leading scholars and popular purveyors of bad history in his crosshairs, Witherington reveals what we can—and cannot—claim to know about the real Jesus. The Bible, not outside sources, is still the most trustworthy historical record we have today.

Utilizing a fresh "personality profile" approach, Witherington highlights core Christian claims by investigating the major figures in Jesus’s inner circle of followers: Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Peter, James the brother of Jesus, Paul, and the mysterious "beloved disciple." In each chapter Witherington satisfies our curiosities and answers the full range of questions about these key figures and what each of them can teach us about the historical Jesus. What Have They Done with Jesus? is a vigorous defense of traditional Christianity that offers a compelling portrait of Jesus’s core message according to those who knew him best.

As a special bonus, one of the winners will also receive an official ThePoachedEgg.net T-shirt, which are not yet available to the public but soon will be!

February Contest: Metamorphosis DVD Giveaway

This month we’re giving away a copy of the critically acclaimed film Metamorphosis: The Beauty and Design of Butterflies. Here’s a synopsis of the film:

Metamorphosis follows on the heels of past Illustra offerings, including Privileged Planet, Unlocking the Mystery of Life, and Darwin's Dilemma. It's probably true that with these films taken altogether, Illustra producer and documentarian Lad Allen has made the most easily accessible, visually stunning case for intelligent design available.

Throughout history butterflies have fascinated artists and philosophers, scientists and schoolchildren with their profound mystery and beauty. In Metamorphosis you will explore their remarkable world as few ever have before.

How did these extraordinary creatures come into being? Are they the products of a blind, undirected process? Or, were they designed by an intelligence that transcends the material world? Filmed in the rain forests of Ecuador, Mexico's Trans-Volcanic mountain range, and leading research centers, Metamorphosis is an unforgettable documentary filled with the joys of discovery and wonder.

To enter this month’s contest, simply scroll down and leave a comment on this post and include your e-mail address when prompted. Your e-mail address is kept private and will not appear with your comment and will be only be used for the sole purpose of contacting the winner which will be selected by a random drawing. The winner will be announced on February 29th, 2012.

A Quote From Jim Caviezel About The Word of Promise:

"Throughout my professional life, I have always been drawn to truth when selecting projects. In the Scripture I find truth itself; the truth that has long been a source of strength and constant inspiration. From the very beginning, the Word of God was not read, but passed on orally. It is a tradition that we continue with The Word of Promise New Testament Audio Bible. . . I hope it has some effect on people when they hear it. That God wants them. People change so much when they know that they're loved. And I want them to know that they're loved when they hear this."

This free online edition of The Word of Promise features an index, keyword or passage lookup, and with other Bible study helps.

Free Online Study Bible

Greg’s Note: Study Bibles are a useful, but sometimes expensive, resource for Bible study. I know, because since the recent release of the HCSB Study Bible, I have been anxiously awaiting the chance to add this edition to my Bible library, but I just cannot afford the $30 to $60 price tag at the moment. But thankfully, the publishers of this excellent translation are making available the complete text along with notes and articles in a free online edition. As a student of the Bible, I can honestly say that making use of different study bibles has enhanced my understanding of the Bible and it’s interpretation and application. I hope you will make use of this handy and useful online Bible study tool.
