Christian Worldview by Herman Bavinck
Description: Before there was Cornelius Van Til there was Bavinck, and from Bavinck’s argumentation in this book one see how this would contribute to Van Til building upon Bavinck’s insight with a worldview apologetics.

The publishers brought various Christian scholars from their respective field and have them write about their discipline and they wrote it in such a way that’s friendly to the general reader and yet also insightful of its relationship to the Christian faith!

Thanks for putting this great resource together. What a blessing for all followers of Jesus.
Aww thanks! Wow you are either up super Late or woke up super early on Black Friday?!
Ha Ha. I just get up early. Definitely not Black Friday. 🙂
You have been very busy putting this together .
Thank you and blessings
Thanks for seeing the efforts put into this! I know Thanksgiving yesterday is an American holiday but does Australia have something like that on another day of the year?
Unfortunately Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving, but of course Black Friday, Pride Day and Halloween the country does. Sad!
Hope all is well with you and your ministry .
Thanks for the listing, SlimJim! I did enjoy the book on Sociology from a Christian perspective.
Nice! I really enjoyed that sociology booklet. I’m glad you enjoyed it too! I’m encouraged to know you are a Christian readers, seems like these days people don’t read a lot, especially with my generation. As a pastor I often feel many Christians are missing out in growing more deeper with the things of God.
Yeah, there are so many solid books for Christians out there. The younger generations just want to watch YouTube and Netflix.
