Review Quotes:
This series of lectures, which I had the privilege to attend, exhibited the most consistent Van Tillian apologetic I have ever witnessed in Costa Rica, they provided an irrefutable defense of the Christian faith as the only worldview capable of making rational sense of reality. The ultimate statement that the proof of the Christian worldview lies in the impossibility of the contrary is a robust Van Tillian apologetic that has silenced many skeptics, leaving them without a foundation to stand on. I could see for myself that those who attended these lectures had a lot to chew on and digest.
