Free Stuff Fridays (Zondervan Reflective)

This week, the blog and this giveaway are sponsored by Zondervan Reflective.

The Christian faith makes sense—of the world around us and the ache we feel inside. If you’ve ever longed for something you can’t quite name, this is your chance to explore it: Why is there something and not nothing? What’s the point of life if it all happened by accident? And if Jesus rose from the dead, would that really be good news?

Why Christianity Makes Sense tackles those questions head-on, showing how the Christian faith is not only the best explanation for the world—but the happiest news we could receive.

Following in the tradition of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, award-winning author Gavin Ortlund presents the gospel to a new generation, unpacking questions like:

  • Will having faith make you happier?
  • If God is real, why isn’t he more obvious?
  • What are the strongest arguments for the truth of Christianity?

For anyone searching for meaning, this book offers a fresh sense of wonder at the gospel of Jesus.
