On this week's PoM podcast episode I sat down with J. Warner Wallace a Christian apologist and homicide detective and author of "Cold Case Christianity." 

 J. Warner Wallace is releasing the 10th Anniversary Edition of Cold-Case Christianity to reach a new generation who is seeking biblical evidence and truth.  

Cold-Case Christianity draws on Jim’s decades of experience as a homicide detective and the step-by-step, evidence-based investigative process that led him from atheism to Christianity at the age of thirty-five.

“As a cold-case homicide detective, I know the significance of visual cases,” said Warner. “Visuals bring much more perspective when we can see the case in its totality and feel its cumulative weight. For our young, visually driven culture I have updated Cold-Case Christianity to be highly illustrative so readers may clearly walk through the case and decide for themselves.”
