The Grace Effect
Larry Taunton
Paperback, 272 pp., $16.99
Thomas Nelson (November 15, 2011)

What does Christianity give us beyond televangelists, potlucks, and bad basketball leagues? Not much, according to the secular Left. Larry Taunton has spent much of his career refuting just this sort of thinking, but when he encounters Sasha, a Ukranian orphan whose life has been shaped by atheistic theorists, he discovers an unlikely champion. Occasionally infuriating, often amusing, but always inspiring, The Grace Effect will have you cheering for the courageous little girl who shamed the academic elitists of our day.

This daring and compelling book unveils what kind of person Darwin really was. The book reveals disturbing facts that will help you perceive Darwin firsthand through the eyes of family and friends, and his own correspondence; uncover his views on eugenics and racism, and his belief that women were less evolved than men. Thoroughly documented, this book reveals Darwin’s less-than-above board methods of attempting to prove his so-called scientific beliefs, and his plot to “murder God” by challenging the then-dominant biblical worldview.
