episode one hundred seventy seven

Did you make it through the teenage years with no rebellion, no prodigalness, only to discover as your loved one reached adulthood, they rejected the faith they were raised with, and maybe even broke communication with you? What do you do when they say, “There’s no proof there is even a god.”

I think you will find some real help and hope in today’s episode with Bruce Cook, author of Follow the Evidence. In this fascinating, factual, readable book, Bruce takes readers on a cruise of discovery. He will satisfy any questions or doubts you have, and will give you realities to share when your loved one is willing to talk.

Bruce Cook is the author of three books and has been featured in interviews on CNN, CBS Evening News, ABC News, and the Wall Street Journal Radio Network. A graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Harvard Business School, he founded and served as CEO of Leadership Dynamics International and has served as the national director of Here’s Life America. He and his wife, Donna, live in Atlanta and are proud parents and grandparents.
