    "A warm and witty tale that will grab you by the heart!"--DENISE HUNTER, bestselling author of the Riverbend Romance series 
     
    Samuel was back. It seemed unfair to be blindsided. And in church no less. Shouldn't there be a commandment about that? Thou shalt not step foot inside thy ex's place of worship. 
     
    Julia Monroe has just turned forty and has high hopes for a fresh start after the last decade of her life abruptly left her a young widow and a single mom. With both her boys off to college, she can finally focus on expanding her New Orleans-based cleaning business. Julia is ready for new beginnings--but God has other plans. Samuel Reed, the ruggedly handsome Green Beret who shattered her heart over twenty years ago, has returned to town and is the kind of distraction she never saw coming. 
     
    After their first interaction in years leaves her mind spinning and her emotions out of control, Julia knows she needs to avoid him if she wants any chance of preventing history from repeating itself, but her meddling best friend keeps throwing them together. And now it seems inevitable that the man who was hard to forget might just be impossible to resist.

    How can we be sure the New Testament is trustworthy?
    It's an important question, yet debates about its historical accuracy often feel overwhelming and difficult to engage with. We want to be confident that the New Testament's accounts are true and reliable, but scholarly discussions around the authenticity of the events recounted in Scripture can be challenging to navigate.
    In Trustworthy Ben Shaw provides the clear introduction we've needed for understanding the New Testament's historical reliability. In this book Shaw systematically surveys key issues related to New Testament reliability and provides guidance for those setting out to explore the evidence.
    Concise, to-the-point chapters equip readers to answer the challenging questions we encounter when discussing the credibility of the New Testament. Addressing a wide variety of evidence, Shaw leads readers through the key scholarly topics related to New Testament reliability. The book also includes thoughtful recommendations for further reading for readers who want to explore various topics in depth, as well as helpful charts and figures.
    Topics covered in Trustworthy include:
    
    - New Testament textual evidence, genres, authorship, and creedal traditions
    - Historical criteria and archaeology
    - Non-Christian sources and noncanonical Christian sources
    - New Testament canon and credibility
    - Spiritual and life transformation
    Shaw compellingly demonstrates that we can trust the New Testament not only for its historical accuracy but also as a guide to life. With thoughtful analysis and clear evidence, Trustworthy invites you to embrace the reliability of the New Testament with confidence.
