Dare to Be Dogmatic: And Other Essays to Help You Think and Live Like a ChristianToday's modern Christian often struggles with overwhelming issues and questions at home, at work, in the marketplace, and within the depths of his or her own soul. Often these issues come in the form of attacks against positions we take when we speak God's truth into the lives of our loved one or our places of work. Many Christians have been trained to dialog with unbelievers on the big issues of apologetics, but few have been equipped with the less weighty but no less troublesome issues of everyday life. Dare to Be Dogmatic was written in the format of short essays to equip the reader in thinking through many of these issues. Many topics are covered that will prepare the reader to give an answer and a reason for the hope that is our in Christ Jesus (1 Peter 3:15). Some essays are fun, some a bit frivolous, but all have a point rooted in a Judeo-Christian and biblical worldview.

Jesus Still Speaks: The Seven Last Words of Jesus from the CrossNo single person has affected the history of our world more than Jesus Christ. His real-world teachings, moral example, and incarnate life surpass those of any philosopher, guru, or spiritual leader (or all of them combined). Yet it is his death and resurrection that make his teachings worthy of obedience and his person worthy of worship. Jesus Still Speaks invites the reader to encounter anew Jesus's seven last sayings as he died in atoning sacrifice for our sins. All of Jesus's words are important, but his seven last words from the cross still speak with power from the very crux of human history. Many witnessed the event. Several heard his words and recorded them. In this book, the reader will hear them again in an analysis that stirs the imagination and inspires faith.
I am grateful for this scholarly account of Jesus' final hours, and the way in which Larry places us in the mind and heart of our Lord, and all those around Him. While sharing Jesus in all His humanity, we are also reminded He is first and foremost our sovereign Lord. I am thankful for this powerful account of what Jesus did for me.
