There are three that bear witness in earth,
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
and these three agree in one.

Dr. J. I. Packer, Keep In Step With the Spirit (InterVarsity Press, 2005). I respect Packer as a Reformed charismatic, but disagree with his view of theistic evolution. I believe he was seriously wrong about that. Derek Prince also held that view, which I strongly disagree with; and I think could be a litmus test or a red flag for someone who struggles with Biblical authority.
Lee Strobel, Seeing the Supernatural (Zondervan, 2025). This is a really unique book. Written by a hard nosed skeptic, former atheist, and leading Christian apologist. Supports an evidence-based supernatural worldview. Strobel also has a theistic view of evolution, which I disagree with.
