In 100 Bible Questions and Answers for Families: Inspiring Truths, Helpful Explanations, and Power for Living from God’s Eternal Word (BroadStreet® Publishing), authors Alex McFarland and Bert Harper, veteran cohosts of the nationally syndicated broadcast Exploring the Word, address a wide range of complex, frequently asked questions about God, the Bible, and Christian living, family life, worldviews and end times. Using the truth of Scripture to address some of the most controversial, culturally relevant issues of today Alex and Bert remind readers that we can trust that God’s Word is always infallible in the answers it provides.

The schoolyard bully who bruises the little girl. The thug who pushes an old woman to her death on the subway rails. The gang that robs a jewelry store and stabs the owner. The coward who carjacks and shoots the driver. They’re all guilty of crimes against innocent lives. The abortionist who wields forceps may kill a preborn baby legally, but the end is the same — innocent and alive moments earlier, dead and discarded
