About the Author

Betsy McPeak has a degree in Philosophy and is a Fellow with theC.S. Lewis Institute. Her experience with "apologetics" began longbefore she even knew what the word meant. When Betsy asked probingquestions in Sunday School, she was told to "just believe." Lackinganswers, she became confused, and even suicidal as an adolescent. When she asked about the meaning of daily life, she was toldthat she needed to see a psychiatrist. Betsy went on to theuniversity to study pre-med at the age of 16, but was faced with anincredible tension between Christianity and science. At the age of18 she ended up hitchhiking in Europe, and passed through SwissL'Abri, a Christian community where her hard questions were treatedwith dignity and hope.

Betsy married her German tutor, and became a military wife anda homeschooling mom of 4 sons, traveling around to different statesand countries, experiencing many different types of Christians, aswell as many challenges to her faith. Along the way shestudied apologetics under Francis Schaeffer, Ellis Potter, and GregBahnsen, and took an apologetics class at Cambridge. Throughall of these experiences, plus living in a house with bookshelvesinstead of walls, Betsy has come to find satisfying answers to herquestions in the Truths revealed in the Bible. Betsy loves to sharewhat she has learned through her 35-year study of apologetics ~ thedefense of the Christian faith.
