What is a "Spiritual Seeker"?

A spiritual seeker is someone who is looking for truth. To be a seeker in the spiritual realm is to seriously consider-or reconsider-what God means to you.

Maybe the success you've enjoyed in your life isn't as satisfying as you thought it would be. Maybe the fun is starting to feel routine. Maybe things you used to deal with are starting to deal with you.  Maybe you just want your "good" life to be good at a deeper, more meaningful level. Whatever the case, if you're trying to discover spiritual truth, you're qualified to be called a "seeker".

As a seeker, you're open to the possibility that God might be real and able to make a definite difference. You're looking for something more, and you've stopped pretending to have it all together. You know you don't know-but you want to know.

We have information listed on this site that will help you with your spiritual journey. Many times those who are Spiritual Seekers have questions about the Holy Bible and its validity. Some wonder if it is just a book of myths.  Christianity is based upon the writings of scripture. So if the Bible is just a book of myths, Christianity is just "another religion". However if scripture is inspired by the God of this Universe, then the Bible is a Handbook for Life.
The  Books listed below and the links on Birth of Jesus,  Crucifixion,  Resurrection, and Archaeological/Scientific Evidence, will help those who are Spiritual Seekers and wondering about The Holy Bible and the claims of Christianity.

The links titled The Gospel and God's Grace provide the foundations of the Christian Faith.

We also have a section called Get the FAQ's on Christianity. We try to answer the common questions people have about God and Christianity.

We have started a section on Other Religions to explain the difference between them and Christianity. Of course, the main difference is that only Christianity teaches that you go to heaven by grace alone; and Jesus Christ is the means to to receive grace.

Of course, the best evidence of the truths of Christianity is a changed life. Click on Testimony to read how an atheist is now walking In His Steps.

The purpose of this web site is to help answer questions you may have about God, the Bible, and Christianity. It is our hope that you will come to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by the influence of this web site. However, Christianity is a religion of relationship with God and others. So one of the best ways of learning about Christ is by having contact with true followers of Jesus. So if you have a Christian friend that loves Jesus, ask them about their faith. And also realize there are no perfect Christians. Give your friend the same grace/mercy that you would want them to give to you. This is not to excuse sin in your friend's life, it is only to emphasize that we all need a Savior.

Bible. These answers are backed by solid evidence that will satisfy anyone who is willing to honestly weight it.

The New Evidence That Demands A  Verdict-by Josh McDowell
The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict maintains and strengthens McDowell's original arguments for the validity of Christianity. Jam-packed with information, this book looks at why the Bible can be trusted, including its historical reliability and accuracy. McDowell explains who Jesus is, and why the New Testament record of his personality and ministry is the best and most authentic source available. He also explains how several worldviews have attempted to discredit Christianity, particularly through the methods of biblical, form, and textual criticism. McDowell also examines several philosophical systems, including skepticism, agnosticism, and mysticism, and offers a cogent defense of the idea and reality of miracles.

Creation: Facts of Life by Gary Parker
Take a scientific look at DNA, embryo development, fossils, "early man," and other topics critical to the creation/evolution debate in terms that even non-scientists can understand! This biblically based book is written by a professor of biology who "enthusiastically" taught evolution until he attended a Bible study led by a chemistry professor. 215 pages.

Darwin on Trial by Phillip E. Johnson
Is Darwin's theory of evolution really the settled fact experts insist it is? Johnson, a Berkeley law professor specializing in logic, dissects Darwinism's scientific support and finds it woefully short on logic and severely lacking in confirmatory evidence. This rigorous-yet readable- book is a great introduction to the controversy over evolution. 195 pages.

Skeptics Answered  by Dr. James Kennedy
Is the Bible reliable and accurate? Can we prove that God exists? Who was Jesus? How can there be evil if God is good? These are some of the most-asked questions at the heart of this faith-affirming look at Christianity. Clear, factual, and well-reasoned, Kennedy's answers will provide you with solid assurance for every doubt. 240 pages.

Many Infallible Proofs  by Henry M. Morris III
Christianity is the only religion in the world founded on historical evidence, say the Morrises. In this compelling book, they show you "many infallible proofs" that will give you renewed confidence in the authority of God's Word. 381 pages.

When God Doesn't Make Sense  by Dr. Dobson
When we are entangled in life's crisis, it is common to feel great frustration with God. Our inability to figure out what He is doing creates the greatest agitation. The "Why?" question, which even Jesus asked from the cross, is often left unanswered for years or perhaps for a lifetime.
