What do you believe? Have you ever seen something with your eyes that your mind just couldn’t reconcile? Mentalist, John Michael Hinton has made a career providing people with experiences that do exactly that. In his first book, John explores faith, fakes and the art of fabrication. He provides us with a view of the supernatural from someone who approaches such matters with a great deal of skepticism, yet still has firmly landed in the realm of faith and belief.

This book is for the intellectual.  Ravi Zacharias’ arguments are well thought out and sound.

If you are truly seeking a no hold back approach to whether there is a God, this is the book for you!

Josh McDowell premis is based on if Jesus’ resurrection is logically possible.  This is a shortened version of his Evidence that Demands a Verdict thesis.

Perfect for the average person and a quick read.

What would happen if you truly believed God loved you?

Francis Chan presents a master’s class on answering that question!

 C. S. Lewis shares a fictional tale of a dialogue between two demons.  It delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace.  Good Fictional read.

Bill Giovannetti masterfully looks at words in american culture that are taboo and not politically correct from a faith standpoint.

Fellow magician and Christian Jim Munroe shares his amazing story.

Great read for dealing with loss and a real life faith journey.

William P. Young wrote this book to share with his children about the love of God.

Great fictional story that should not be taken instead of the Bible, but an an amazing story that shows us the love of God.

Warning:

Listed below are resources that will teach you how to create and fabricate magic.  They will help you amaze your friends and give you a hobby that keeps on giving.  BUT, they also take the magic away from you.  When you find out the secrets you may be severely disappointed with the art in general!  Performing magic is amazing, but the mystery is one of the most beautiful parts about it.

Procede at your own risk:

 This is my favorite book to recommend to people who want to get into magic.  For beginners ages 7-97 who want to perform amazing tricks for family and friends.  Also, comes with a DVD of Joshua Jay teaching the effects.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is one of my favorite DVD’s for people who want to do “Street Magic” or close-up magic with ordinary objects you can find around your house.  His pen trick or “ReCap” is worth the price of the DVD.  ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

2nd Warning:

If you just want to have some fun, but don’t really want to be a magician, stick with the book and DVD listed above.  Below are books for people who want to jump off the deep end into hours of practice and geekdom.

All of the mystery will go away.

This book is an amazing book for card handling, whether you want to cheat at cards or do magic tricks! (ONLY RECOMMEND BOTH FOR PERFORMANCE REASONS)  The Professor used the techniques listed in this book to accomplish many of his miracles.  Definitely not for someone who just wants to impress their friends tomorrow.  But if you are willing to put in the time, this book will teach you how to do anything you want with an ordinary deck of cards.
