The Truth in True Crime

What Investigating Death Teaches Us About the Meaning of Life

By: J. Warner Wallace, Alisa Childers - introduction

Narrated by: J. Wallace, Alisa Childers

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.

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.

Well written

A lot of wisdom in this book presented in a clear and logical fashion. Clearly outlines the root cause of our social problems is a lack of fathers and we have turned away from God as a nation.
Yes, it really is that simple.

The correlation between secular research findings is expected but still fascinating

If the Bible is true, it's natural that rightly undertaken scientific studies and modeling will align with what it teaches. That said it's still cool to see some of the correlation outlined in the context of these various narratives. It was neat to hear more of the cases that Wallace has worked on over the years although there are some repeats from other books he's written. I continue to be drawn in and depressed by the author's ability to relate his career expertise to the intellectual and existential realities underlying the Christian faith. Carry on, carry on!

excellence

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