Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

Explore fifteen life-truths gleaned from both contemporary murder investigations and ancient biblical wisdom.

"Every murder investigation teaches two lessons: a death lesson and a life lesson."

For decades, cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace investigated the causes behind deaths and murders, chasing one lead after another as he attempted to solve the case. Several of these cases remain open, unsolved mysteries. . .

But even those that haven't yet revealed the identity of the killer do expose the truths of human nature: what's important to us, what threatens our well-being, and what causes us to flourish.

Join Wallace as he investigates life lessons he learned as a detective, so that you can:

• Better understand your own identity and the identity of your Creator.
• Rethink the nature of death so you can live a better life.
• Uncover life-truths gleaned from both contemporary murder investigations and ancient biblical wisdom.
• Discover profound attributes of human beings that will guide you down the path of true self-discovery.

Each chapter introduces you to an investigation of a death as Wallace and his partner Rick chase down leads and along the way learn guiding principles to help you thrive and flourish as a human being created in the image of God.

excellence

I love the whole book! especially that Jay Warner Wallace read it himself :-) thank you again Jay for a wonderful book.

Another fantastic book from J. Warner Wallace!

J. Warner Wallace continues to write great books that help readers better understand why Christianity and the Bible are both true and good.

The Truth has Set Me Free

I saw J Warner Wallace in Moore OK, at a conference with Frank Tutek. I have listened to his great insightful take on Christian Apologitics from the viewpoint of his many years as a Homicide Detective. This is another great book. This book however is like a modern Book of Proverbs. It is full of wisdom and Truth. It shows that the Bible is the source of Truth, because it truely shows man's depravity. That's why we need Jesus.

Truth in everyday life

The author uses such great stories and clear explanations to reveal the truth you find when you seek truth in life and when you seek God. An interesting and exciting read. Loved it!

🧏🏻‍♀️Insightful & Inspiring🤍

Listening to this audiobook has been a transformative experience. The author masterfully combines scholarly insight with practical application, making it relevant for both academic and personal growth.

Surprisingly Insightful! I think I was expecting something else.

Wallace has a unique way of using crime stories to communicate truths and wisdom for this modern society. He broaches subjects that are often overlooked in society but also in the church. Chocked full of facts and statistics, he brings valid evidence to support his positions. I highly recommend this book!

Stories illustrating timeless truths

This is a great recording of a worthwhile read. The book does a great job of using crime stories to demonstrate the beauty of living wisely. I highly recommend it!

The relevance to today's life

The connection to God's Word and cold case facts and real life characters that were unveiled.

So incredibly interesting

I actually started this audiobook while also watching his video presentations on this book and I’m glad I bought this, as it goes deep into the subjects that the videos also touch on. Sometimes you can end up with verbatim in both the video and audiobooks, but I didn’t find that in this case. The subject matter Wallace shares, along with the insight he gained along his path as a detective, I found his stories to be entirely enthralling. He’s very wise, yet conveys everything in such a relatable way, so there is nothing pretentious at all about him and I appreciate even more that he narrated the audiobook himself. More like a conversation than a robotic read, which I prefer in nonfiction. Each chapter is thought provoking and will leave you with wisdom to take to heart. I haven’t listened to his other audiobooks yet, but bought another of his titles which he also narrates, so I look forward to that as well. All in all, I highly recommend this audiobook not only for Christian insight, but also for life insight. Well done.

Intriguing story-based approach to life’s biggest questions

J. Warner Wallace does an amazing job of using intriguing stories to introduce worldview lessons on things like wisdom and identity. I loved how the author makes the lessons relevant to the reader narrates his own book.
