52 Apologetics: 52 Faith-Building Devotions Defending Christianity (I am set to defend the gospel, give an answer for my hope, and fight for the faith: Philippians 1:17; 1 Peter 3:15; Jude 3). Paperback – December 6, 2023

Is the Bible God’s Word? Yes. Is Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, and the only Mediator between a sinful people and a perfect, holy, and righteous God? Yes! Is the Christian faith supported by reasonable, provable, historical, archaeological, and philosophical evidence? Yes, yes, and yes!

The word apologetics comes from two Greek words, apo (out from) and logos (logic), and it literally means to give out a logical defense (apologia). In Christianity, it means to give out logical reasons for our faith, to defend the truth of Scripture, and to give reasons for believing in Christ.

Like Paul, I am “set for the defense (apologia) of the gospel” (Philippians 1:17). Like Peter, I am “ready always to give an answer (apologia)” to everyone who asks why I trust Christ (1 Peter 3:15). Like Jude, I am prepared to earnestly contend (epi-agnízomai: agonize, fight) for the faith (Jude 3).

I have written this book to defend and contend for the Christian faith; I want to let others know why I believe the Bible is God’s Word and Jesus is God’s Son (2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:34).

Social Justice Upside Down:

A Biblical Review of Critical Theory (CT) and Social Justice (SJ) Paperback – November 7, 2025

Social Justice. Critical Theory. Equity. These words are everywhere—in classrooms, on social media, in Hollywood, workplaces, and even churches. But behind the slogans lies a worldview that redefines justice, reshapes sin, and divides humanity into “oppressors” and “oppressed.” In this timely and accessible book, Michael Finney exposes the flawed foundation of Critical Theory and its offshoots—including Social Justice Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Queer Theory—showing how they distort biblical truth and replace God’s impartial justice with division and favoritism. More than a cultural critique, this book offers a Christ-centered response, revealing the unifying and restorative justice found only in Jesus Christ. For parents, pastors, and everyday Christians, this is a call to discernment and a return to God’s unchanging Word.
