Telling Tales is a distillation of twenty years' worth of forays reflecting on popular culture through the lens of faith and reason, literature and philosophy. Recurring and integrating motifs running through the volume include the character of God and the nature and value of people, winsomely explored with a light touch. Canvassing pop culture artifacts as diverse as Harry Potter and Firefly, these reflections challenge readers to look closer and attend to inchoate echoes of the sacred in the otherwise familiar.

>Christianity Today 2019 Book of the Year Award of Merit, Apologetics/Evangelism What arguments best support the existence of God? For centuries the moral argument—that objective morality points to the existence of God—has been a powerful apologetic tool. In this volume, David and Marybeth Baggett offer a dramatic, robust, and even playful version of the moral argument. Tracing both its historical importance and its contemporary relevance, they argue that it not only still points to God's existence but that it also contributes to our ongoing spiritual transformation.
