Ignite Your Faith: Get Back in the Fight

How Science and the Supernatural Changed My Life 
“One day one of my professors asked me if it was true that I was a Bible-believing Christian. When I answered yes, his polite, upbeat attitude instantly turned rude and arrogant. In front of my peers, he insulted my intelligence, belittled my faith, and discredited the Bible. To him there was absolutely no doubt that science and academia had shown the pure ‘insanity of such belief,’” writes author Max Davis. 
Written from his journalistic point of view, The Insanity of Unbelief is a result of the author’s 30-year walk from childlike belief, to skepticism, and finally deep, secure faith. The contents are based on his expert and thorough research of solid facts versus what many atheists, agnostics, and even some believers tout. 
Different from other apologetic books is the addition of true, documented, supernatural experiences and miracles making a compelling—and exciting—argument for the reality and power of God!

Given the choice, most of us wouldn't want to reach a point of desperate dependence on anyone. But when that dependence is on God, it can become a very unique point where we can discover just how interested God is in every area of our lives and #150;especially the spiritual, emotional and relational areas! In Desperate Dependence, Max Davis gently reveals how our disappointments and failures can be turned around so that we experience God in ways we never imagined. Desperate Dependence will take you to a new place in your relationship with God where every personal challenge can poise you to grow spiritually and emotionally in him.

Desperate Dependence: Experiencing God's Best in Life's Toughest Situations

Life Journey

Living with the constant threat of terrorism, an unstable economy, rampant crime, unforeseen circumstances, and the stress of this fast-paced society, people need to know that it is possible to do more than merely survive life. With God's power and direction, they can THRIVE in the midst of whatever is thrown their way. 
Thriving on the Jagged Edge is about experiencing God's best in life's toughest situations. A natural follow-up to Max Davis's Desperate Dependence, this book helps the reader discover that while we can't always choose what life will hand us, we can choose the way we will respond. And the way we respond will affect our future. God can turn our difficulty around and work it for our own good—if we let him. 
Davis will inspire you, reminding you that it's on the jagged edge of epidemics that new vaccines are discovered. It's on the jagged edge of need that inventions are developed. It's on the jagged edge of tribulation that heroes are made and opportunity for ministry comes. It's on the jagged edge that miracles happen and god does his greatest work in us.
