Stand Your Ground Dean Hardy

""My freshman year of college was a battle,"" writes Katie, a college student and a strong Christian. The transition from high school to college is one of the most pivotal times in a young person's life. After departing from under the protective wings of their parents, young adults often have trouble holding firm to the Christian faith. Stand Your Ground is an introduction to apologetics for young adults in high school or college. The book includes thirteen chapters that confront the overwhelming intellectual attacks Christian college students face on university campuses. Dean Hardy takes readers on a spiritual and intellectual journey, addressing such issues as the nature of truth and reality, the investigation of other worldviews, the evidence for Christianity, critics' arguments against Christianity, and the relationship between apologetics and evangelism. ""Stand Your Ground is doctrinally sound, apologetically oriented, and an evangelistically relevant work. It will fill an important need in saving our young people from the onslaughts of unbelief."" --Norman Geisler, President of Southern Evangelical Seminary and author of over seventy books, including Decide for Yourself ""Stand Your Ground covers a lot of ground in an easy-to-understand manner. From logic, to philosophy, to the evidence for God and the Bible, Stand Your Ground provides you with the essential tools you need to defend Christianity from the relentless attacks of skeptics . . . highly recommended!"" --Frank Turek, coauthor of I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist and Legislating Morality ""Dean Hardy is to be commended for writing a very accessible book that covers a remarkably wide range of material on apologetics. I applaud his emphasis on a personalized, holistic approach to defending the faith, which is greatly needed."" --Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University, author of True for You, But Not for Me and That's Just Your Interpretation Dean Hardy is the Bible Department Chair at Charlotte Christian School in Charlotte, North Carolina.
