ANSWERS for: “The Hope That Is In You”: Direct, Simple Christian Answers to the World’s “hard” Questions
Drawing from his extensive experience of answering queries on his website, Liebert presents over 100 questions and provides insightful answers along with a thorough analysis of Biblical Creation versus Evolution.
The book is structured into two parts. The first part, “ANSWERS to the Hard Questions,” addresses a wide range of challenging inquiries encountered in evangelism. From science-related queries spanning astronomy, physics, biology, and geology to questions about the Bible, origins (Creation vs. Evolution), historical and cultural contexts, including topics like dinosaurs and Noah’s Flood, Liebert offers clear and concise responses that empower believers to engage confidently in discussions.
In the second part, “The Origins Debate,” Liebert delves deeper into the scientific and cultural aspects surrounding the Creation and Evolution discourse. Chapters explore the scientific understanding of the past, the cultural context influencing this debate, the intricacies of Creation and Evolution theories, the complexity of living organisms, and the implications of Evolution on human life and issues like racism. With a focus on arming believers with knowledge and understanding, “ANSWERS for ‘The Hope That Is In You’” encourages Christians to be fearless evangelists for Christ, ready to defend their faith with clarity and conviction.
Charlie Liebert’s transformative journey from Atheism to Christianity in 1977 significantly shifted his life trajectory. Embracing Christianity at the age of 35, he delved into an intensive intellectual exploration that profoundly influenced his subsequent work. His focus on Biblical truths, particularly in contrast to Evolution, shaped his career as an author and advocate, emphasizing Young Earth Creationism after years of study and contemplation.
The transition wasn’t abrupt but a gradual evolution over three years, leading to his lifelong dedication to spreading awareness about Creationism. Establishing the “Creation, Dinosaurs, and the Flood (CDEF)” ministry in 1994 post-retirement from CIBA-Geigy, he utilized platforms like the “Creation Education Foundation” TV show to educate and inform viewers on Creationist perspectives, drawing from Genesis for insights. For two years, 1997-1999, Charlie conducted Workshops and Seminars for children and adults under the auspices of Ken Ham’s ministry, Answers in Genesis.
Beyond broadcasting, Liebert made substantial contributions to education, notably guiding the adoption of Classical teaching methods at Caldwell Community Classical Christian Academy. His influence extended to homeschooling workshops, seminars, and literature encompassing fiction, nonfiction, and Christian-themed works. With a career spanning chemical industry expertise and educational advocacy, his legacy reflects a rich and fulfilling life journey centered on faith, knowledge, and family joy in Carlisle, PA, alongside his wife Terry, children, and grandchildren.
