  • He is Not Here, He is Risen by Chris Donato

    FROM TABLETALK | March 2005

  • The New Day by David King

    FROM TABLETALK | March 2004

  • The Frozen Chosen by Keith Mathison

    FROM TABLETALK | August 2010

  • “If I Should Die Before I Wake …” by Harold Brown

    FROM TABLETALK | April 2000

  • A Matter of Death and Life by R.C. Sproul Jr.

    FROM TABLETALK | April 2001

  • Acquainted with Death by Peter Leithart

    FROM TABLETALK | April 2001

  • The National Denier: Fiction Stranger than the Truth! by S.M. Baugh

    FROM TABLETALK | April 2001

  • Christ is Risen: So What? by Burk Parsons

    FROM TABLETALK | April 2001

    We live amid a culture that revels in its efficiency. Thus, to a large degree, evangelicalism has grown apathetic to its own message, the message of the Resurrection. This predicament is often demonstrated in Gospel presentations that more or less …Read More
