For more information about the Solas Centre for Public Christianity that I lead in the UK, visit www.solas-cpc.org. In particular, do check out our SHORT/ANSWERS video series. Over half a million people have now watched, downloaded, or shared one of these videos with friends. They’re a great, free evangelistic resource.

If you’d like to help support Solas’s work of evangelism and evangelism training in Europe, you can do for as little as $5 a month and we’ll send you the Why We Still Believe book as a gift. With chapters by me (and also RZIM’s Vince Vitale), it’s a great read.

Finally, here are links to the books mentioned on the handout, if you want to track one down quickly:
