STAND: Core Truths You Must Know for an Unshakable Faith

Help teens get off the rollercoaster of doubt and on to solid ground. In easy-to-understand chapters, Alex McFarland helps readers examine the six pillars of biblical Christianity: inspiration of the Bible, the virgin birth, deity of Christ, atonement, Christ's resurrection and return.

With humor and stories gleaned from decades of working with youth, McFarland encourages teens to build a foundation of faith that will stabilize their lives and help them take a stand for Christ.

Dr. Alex McFarland, religion and culture expert, is a renowned authority in Christian apologetics (one who explains and rationally defends faith).  He is the author of many books, including the devotional book series for teens: "Stand: Seeking the Way of God", "Unleashing the Wisdom of God" and "Diving into the Word of God".  He has several new books that will be released in 2011-2012, including his newest book that was just released through Broadman & Holman, "10 Questions Every Christian Must Answer".
 
Dr. McFarland is the host of "Sound Reason", airing across the country on the National Religious Broadcaster's Network and he also co-hosts "Explore the Word" with Marvin Sanders on the American Family Radio Network, airing on nearly 200 stations. He served as the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary in North Carolina, has spoken in hundreds of locations throughout the U.S. and abroad, and has been interviewed by all the top Christian and secular media outlets. He spent over two decades training teens and adults in biblical worldview reasoning, much of that time working with Focus on the Family.  Through his Stand Weekends for teens, and the annual National Conference on Christian Apologetics, Dr. McFarland works toward his goal of introducing new audiences to the truths of Christianity.
