How Criminals Prove God's Existence / #56 J. Warner Wallace

DyerConversations

J. Warner Wallace was a cold-case homicide detective before retiring and becoming a a best selling Christian author. His latest book "The Truth in True Crime" is divided into 15 chapters. Each chapter introduces you to an investigation of a death as Wallace and his partner Rick chase down leads and along the way learn guiding principles to help you thrive and flourish as a human being created in the image of God.

As a fellow law enforcement officer, I had a blast swapping stories with Jim and discussing how the Bible explains in precise detail what human nature is really like. The Bible spells out the traits we need to succeed and the pitfalls to avoid. It also explains how God has created us for a relationship with him.

Jim's new book is very well researched with numerous footnotes citing modern sources from psychology, sociology, and other areas of science. However, it is very easy to read and almost felt like you are following along in a crime novel. I highly recommend this book!
