Greg Koukl, of Stand to Reason, interviews Scott Klusendorf on his new book The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture. A bit about the author:

Scott Klusendorf is the president of Life Training Institute, where he trains pro-life advocates to persuasively defend their views. A passionate and engaging platform speaker, Scott’s pro-life presentations have been featured by Focus on the Family, Truths That Transform, and American Family Radio. Scott is a graduate of UCLA and the author of Pro-Life 101: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Case Persuasively.

The book is clear and accessible — the sort of book that a busy layperson can read, understand, and apply in everyday conversations on questions like: What is an unborn baby? Isn’t abortion a “private matter”? What if the mother cannot afford to have a child? Klusendorf also helpfully sets the pro-life view within the larger framework of a Christian worldview.
Read the Introduction and Chapter 1.
The blurbs:
“The Case for Life is a veritable feast of helpful information about pro-life issues, the finest resource about these matters I have seen. It is accessible to the layperson, and it lays out a strategy for impacting the world for a culture of life.”
- J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University; author of Kingdom Triangle
“Scott Klusendorf has produced a marvelous resource that will equip pro-lifers to communicate more creatively and effectively as they engage our culture. The Case for Life is well-researched, well-written, logical, and clear, containing many pithy and memorable statements. Those already pro-life will be equipped; those on the fence will likely be persuaded. Readers looking to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves will find much here to say. I highly recommend this book.”
- Randy Alcorn, best-selling author
“Scott Klusendorf takes the insights and methods for defending the right to life he so effectively communicates in his teaching presentations into a book that provides a clear and cogent biblical rationale for the sanctity and dignity of life, born or unborn. This is a great tool for the layman who knows he or she is pro-life, but doesn’t understand the presuppositions on which his or her beliefs are based or who doesn’t feel equipped to defend or discuss the issue with others.”
- Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship

Christianaudio is offering the much beloved and timeless Foxe’s Book of Martyrs as a free audio book for the month of May. The unabridged version of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs is read by John Fox. The official description:

Beginning with the story of Stephen from the book of Acts, considered the first Christian martyr, the drama builds to the passion of the early Church’s persecution under the Roman Empire. The hardy and radical faith of those first believers spawned medieval missionary movements that spread the gospel across Europe and into England, Scotland, and Ireland.
